The victim's skeletal remains recovered from the Longmont VFW basement after flooding damaged the coffin holding them. The skeleton had been at the VFW for years and were used in a ritual called "Last Man Standing Club."
The remains may have been excavated as long as 50 years ago. They appear consistent with a historical/archaeological specimen, and may have no forensic significance; however, families in the area would like to have DNA analysis completed to determine whether or not this could be their long lost relative.
