On Monday, police said they had identified the remains of Theodore 'Teddy' Long and Robert Earl Sanders. The men had gone missing in the late 1970s and early '80s and their remains were found in Ohio counties 180 miles from each other.
It all started with a call from a former anthropology student to the Youngstown Ohio Police Department.
"Cases like these are why I created Bureau of Criminal Investigation's cold case unit," Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said at a news conference."It's to put the pieces together and assist local law enforcement so they can help bring closure to loved ones." The anthropologists did not identify the person but told police the bones most likely belonged to an African-American male between 30 and 44 years of age.

With the new information, the Fayette County Sheriff was able to identify Long, who is believed to have been killed.
