His identification makes Livingston the ninth presumed victim of Baumeister to be identified by investigators from among roughly 10,000 charred bones and bone fragments that were found at Baumeister’s sprawling property, Jellison said.
He said investigators believe the bones and fragments could represent the remains of at least 25 people.
During the original investigation in the 1990s, 11 human DNA samples were extracted from bones and bone fragments.
Eight of those people, all young men, were identified and matched to DNA samples, with Livingston now the ninth to be identified, Jellison said.
So far, more than 30 families have provided DNA samples, and Jellison hopes other families will submit additional samples.
