DNA Identifies Beaufort Boy Who Disappeared in1972
DNA Identifies Beaufort Boy Who Disappeared in1972
A lowcountry family is finally getting some answers about a 13-year-old brother and son who disappeared more than 30 years ago. Until now the family didn't even know for sure if Michael Akey was dead or alive, but DNA evidence shows remains buried in the Beaufort National Cemetery are Michael's.
Kelly Williams watched as her brother's coffin was removed from a grave in the Beaufort National Cemetery back in August and sent to an FBI lab. At the time, she wasn't sure if the remains belonged to her brother, Michael Akey. This week she found out DNA shows the boy's bones found on Lady's Island in 1978 and buried at the cemetery are Michaels.
