"It's bittersweet," Pennsylvania State Police trooper Ian Keck said last week at a news conference. "The family's been looking for their loved one for over 40 years not knowing what ever happened to them."
Pinnacle Man was found dressed lightly in January 1977, one of the coldest months recorded, which saw average high temperatures of 8 degrees and lows of minus-4.
For nearly a half-century, the unidentified body remained a mystery until advances in DNA analysis and genetic genealogy allowed for the identification of Nicolas Paul Grubb.
Two hikers discovered Pinnacle Man's body in a cave, seeking shelter from bad weather, not knowing they would uncover a decades-old cold case.
