(BCN) – The authorities have recently helped to determine the remains of the man in Auckland for nearly 17 years.
Sharif County Office said in a statement on Wednesday that Esteban Pablo Pablo, 20, was last seen in the province of Islama in 2007, a year before his remains were found for the first time in the estuary.
In September 2008, the partial skeleton residues were found with a white or gray sock and a 8.5 Vision Frand at Marina Alameeda.
In July 2011, more structural remains were found floating in the estuary near the Embarcadero mass on the side of Auckland of the estuary.
The cause of death was not known. By comparing the DNA, both groups of residue were found to belong to the same person, but the identity was not determined at the time.
In 2024, the Sharif office and the California Ministry of Justice began working with OTHRAM, a company specialized in criminal genetic genealogy.
Criminal evidence was sent to Ottram, and Sharif’s office said that the criminal genome sequence was used to build a comprehensive DNA profile.
The company used the profile to achieve genetic genealogy to develop new threads in the case. With information, investigators conducted follow -up inquiries that led them to potential relatives of the unknown person.
In late June, the remains were identified as belonging to Esteban Pablo, and honorable officials are working to reunite the remains with his family in Honduras.
“Thank you to the family of Esteban Pablo Pablo, who presented the photos above and allowed us to share his story,” Sharif’s office said in a press statement. “We hope to collect them soon.”
