Tuscarawas County cold case solved after 28 years
On Feb. 1, 1998, the Tuscarawas County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call from a group of children who had found a suitcase in the middle of dense woods along Winkler Hill Road in Dover Township. Inside were the severed remains of an unidentified man. Six days later, a second suitcase more human remains was found in another remote area, along Boltz Orchard Road in Jefferson Township. For 28 years, the grisly discoveries yielded few clues, and the case went cold. But now, investigators say that subsequent DNA testing finally confirmed the identity of the remains and the person responsible for the crime.
