With the help of Othram, Inc., a private company based in Texas that specializes in Forensic-Grade Genome Sequencing and Forensic Genetic Genealogy, the sheriff’s office was able to identify the remains as Logan Bowman, a five-year-old boy who went missing in Grayson County in January 2003.
Authorities said Logan’s biological mother Cynthia Davis and her then-boyfriend, Dennis Schermerhorn were charged in 2003 by Grayson County in connection with the disappearance of Logan.
As we reported previously, Schermerhorn was sentenced to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine. His most serious charge, felony murder, was dismissed back in 2004 due to lack of evidence in the case.

CARROLL COUNTY, Va. (WDBJ) - Remains found in Galax in 2022 have been identified as those of a five-year-old boy who disappeared from Grayson County in 2003.
Logan Bowman was reported missing in January 2003. Logan’s biological mother, Cynthia Davis, and her then-boyfriend, Dennis Schermerhorn, were charged in 2003 by Grayson County in connection with the disappearance of Logan, according to the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, which says new charges are anticipated, with the boy’s remains having been found.
The body was found September 6, 2022, when the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office responded to the area of Iron Ridge Road in Galax, where remains were found in a wooded area. The investigation indicated the remains had been there for “an extended period of time,” according to investigators.
The Carroll County Sheriff’s Office used Othram Inc., “a private company based in Texas that specializes in Forensic-Grade Genome Sequencing and Forensic Genetic Genealogy,” according to investigators. The company developed a full DNA profile, which allowed the use of Forensic Genetic Genealogy, and two direct DNA comparisons of family members to identify the remains as being Logan Nathaniel Bowman.
