VANCOUVER — Nine years after the disappearance of a 47-year-old Valemount, B.C., man, his family finally has some answers.
The BC Coroners Service confirms human remains found near that east-central B.C., community are those of Richard Olson.
He was last seen near Valemount in 2007 and extensive searches of the area failed to find any trace.
A surveyor spotted skeletal remains in the Robson Valley in late May 2014.
The coroners' service says advanced DNA testing was needed to confirm identification.
The service also says the cause of death is still under investigation.
