A skull found almost four decades ago on the banks of the Delaware River was recently identified as the remains of a man who has been missing for about as much time, authorities said this week. Advanced forensic testing shed new light on the cold case when a genealogy database matched the man's remains to his daughter, who is now 49 and living in Florida.
Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub, whose jurisdiction includes Morrisville, Pennsylvania, where the skull was discovered in 1986, announced on Monday that forensic testing has now confirmed the remains belong to Alt.

Suydam's body was found in the Delaware River in April 1985 — on the New Jersey side, in Trenton — but neither her nor Alt's case was ever solved.
Richard Thomas Alt, pictured here, was 31 years old when he was reported missing to police in Trenton, New Jersey, in early 1985. The skull was turned over to the Buck's County Coroner's Office, which logged the remains in a national database for missing or otherwise unidentified people, and later retrieved again by county detectives who submitted it to a Texas laboratory for forensic genealogy testing.
