It's been almost three decades since a man's skeletal remains were found in Anmore.
To date, investigators still haven't been able to identify the victim but believe by reissuing his description, the public's general grasp on new digital media can potentially help solve the mystery.
On Monday (Aug. 9), Coquitlam RCMP posted a thorough description of the man in hopes that social media can create conversation and lead to some form of identification.
According to police, his body was found on Feb. 7, 1994, which was about a year after police determined he died.
"The investigation determined that the death [in the early spring of 1993] was not suspicious, and police would like to be able to provide closure for the family of this man with your help," says Const. Deanna Law in a statement.
He was found in an area of Anmore northwest of Sunnyside Road and north of its three-way intersection with First Avenue, says B.C.'s Unidentified Human Remains Interactive Viewer.
