Joseph Henry Loveless was last seen in 1916 shortly after escaping from jail where he was being held for allegedly murdering his second wife with an axe
A headless torso found in a remote cave in Idaho has been identified as belonging to a Wild West outlaw who died a century ago.Some of his remains, wrapped in hessian and buried in a shallow grave, were discovered by a family hunting for arrowheads in Buffalo Cave near Dubois, Idaho, in 1979.
But because his head was never located, for years the FBI remained baffled as to the identity of the dead man. However, forensic genealogists from the DNA Doe Project, a group that uses DNA samples, court records and newspaper reports to identify unknown deceased people, are now able to confirm that the man was Loveless.
