A body found without a head or hands along a New York road nearly 56 years ago has been positively identified as a Pennsylvania man, authorities have announced. The man's identity remained a mystery in the decades following the discovery of his body on Davis Hill Road in Andover on March 20, 1970, according to New York State Police. After investigators revisited the cold case in June 2022, when his body was exhumed, police and the FBI used DNA collected from his remains to identify the man as Clyde A. Coppage, state police said in a Thursday, March 12, news release.
