KINGMAN, AZ — Mohave County Sheriff’s officials say human remains found more than 40 years ago near Kingman have been identified thanks to new DNA testing.
The remains were found with a plastic hair comb, a rusty can opener, clothing fragments, and other toiletry items. The cause of death was not able to be determined and despite numerous attempts, the person could also not be identified. Experts were able to learn that the man was Virgil R. Renner from Humboldt, Calif. It has been determined that Renner was born in 1910 and left California in the early 1970s to search for gold in Nevada. It’s unknown why or how he made it to the Kingman area.
