The body of a Sioux Falls , South Dakota , man who has been missing 30 years was identified in Colorado , where deputies have long been trying to put a name the suspected homicide victim. The Jackson County Sheriff's Office used genetic testing and a titanium rod in his leg to identify Jerry A. Mikkelson 's body this week, KELO-TV reported. Law enforcement believe Mikkelson was killed in Wyoming before his body was dumped off a forest service road in Colorado in October 1987.

'The officer informed since Jerry was an adult there was nothing police could do,' Sioux Falls police spokesperson Sam Clemens told the station. 'No police report was made, just the info that left.
