Wisconsin officials have finally identified human remains found near the Illinois border in 1993 as Ronald Louis Dodge.
The remains were discovered along the Soo Line (now Canadian Pacific) rail tracks in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin. Dodge, born on December 27, 1952, in Keshena, Wisconsin, was a member of the Menominee Indian Reservation. Despite initial efforts, authorities were unable to identify the remains at the time.
In 2014, the case was reopened by Kenosha County Medical Examiner Patrice Hall, leading to the breakthrough.
Hall, determined to give the unidentified remains a name, used advanced forensic testing to identify Dodge. His remains have since been returned to his family on the Menominee Reservation.
The case, now a confirmed homicide, is under investigation by the Pleasant Prairie Police Department. Despite new forensic evidence indicating Dodge suffered a gunshot wound, no suspects have been identified.
The police are urging anyone with information to come forward. For more details on the ongoing investigation, visit the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office website.
