In October 2021, a body bag containing human bones and personal items was recovered from Monterey Bay. The remains belonged to Jeffrey Hulliger, who was missing since 1997 after a fishing trip with a friend. Despite a thorough search effort, Hulliger and his boatmate, Greg Mitchell, were never found. The bones revealed hints of marine decomposition, and identification was made via forensic analysis by Othram. Hulliger's case highlights the challenges of solving prolonged missing persons cases at sea, where remains are often lost for decades.
