More than 30 years after two fishermen stumbled across human remains, a Virginia sheriff says they belonged to a 17-year-old, according to AP. Alleghany County Sheriff Kevin Hall announced during a news conference Wednesday that the bones found along the Jackson River were those of Michael Perdue. The Roanoke Times reports siblings Wally Perdue and Sandra Miller attended the news conference. Authorities believe Michael Perdue drowned in May 1985 while fleeing a Covington gas station he or a friend may have firebombed. Investigators thought the remains were Perdue's, but weren't sure until they tracked down Wally Perdue in Michigan for a DNA test. The two brothers had been living with their grandmother in Covington at the time. Michael Perdue will be buried in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
