Using whitepages.com to reverse look up address, I am wondering if Mr. Valesse may be the deceased.

Interesting article about the family told the police that another relative who died in the 1970's found these remains in the 40's or 50's in Letchworth State Park......
Things that make you go hmmmm........

Thank you Treelights. One comment in the article "The bones could be scores, if not hundreds, of years old."

Will be interesting if the DNA does match a documented missing person.

Is the owner from May 2014 still the owner? Still hospitalized? Who owned the property in 2014 & before?

Ahh, Zillow says the house last sold in October of 2015:

ETA: answered a couple of my own questions.

The owner is now deceased and found the bones while hunting for arrowheads. Apparently old Native American remains

It was determined that there was nothing suspicious, Detective Kevin Czora said.

Czora says the department contacted the Tonawanda Seneca Nation so the remains can be provided with a proper burial.

I reckon we won't find out more about him.

Should this thread be moved to "resolved" then?

rats · Aug 5, 2016

Why are they still in NamUs if they've already figured out they're ancient remains?
