马萨诸塞州昆西市确认8月20日溺亡男子身份：64岁的格伦·鲍尔斯、出身波士顿
马萨诸塞州诺福克县地方检察官迈克尔·莫里西10月30日宣布，35年前在昆西市发现的一具无名男性遗骸身份已经确认，死者为格伦·鲍尔斯，系伦道夫高中1970届毕业生。法医认定其死于钝器创伤，死亡方式为他杀。
这起悬案的侦破，靠的是法医基因家谱技术，即把先进的 DNA 测序与传统的家谱研究结合起来，再对照公开数据库与公开记录确认身份。鲍尔斯的遗体于1991年3月21日被一名徒步者在昆西市采石场路270号附近的林地发现，当时被埋在一座约3英尺深的浅坟中，面朝下，头顶有一处直径约4英寸的圆形孔洞。据当时的报道，时任州法医曾表示，遗体下葬至少已有六个月。
地方检察官办公室表示，该案已交由州警未结案件组一名警员负责，昆西市警察局警探吉姆·门兹协助侦办，地方检察官办公室与地方警察伙伴不把未结案件称为「冷案」，仍在持续追查。警方呼吁知情者提供线索，可拨打州警诺福克县地方检察官办公室线索电话781-830-4990、昆西市警察局617-745-5768，或州警未结案件组电话1-855-627-6583。检察官办公室同时表示，案件仍在调查中，尚未公布行凶者信息。

Man Who Drowned in Quincy, Massachusetts, on August 20 Identified on October 30: Glenn Powers, 64, of Boston
Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey announced on October 30 that skeletal remains of an unidentified male homicide victim found in Quincy, Massachusetts, 35 years ago have been identified as Glenn Powers, a 1970 graduate of Randolph High School. The medical examiner determined Powers died of blunt force trauma and ruled the death a homicide.
The identification was made through forensic genetic genealogy, which combines advanced DNA sequencing with traditional genealogy research using publicly available databases and public records. Powers' body was discovered on March 21, 1991, by a hiker in a wooded area near 270 Quarry Street in Quincy, buried face down in a grave about three feet deep, with a circular hole about four inches in diameter at the crown of his skull. The then-state medical examiner said at the time the body had been in the grave for at least six months.
The case has been assigned to a Massachusetts State Police trooper with the unresolved cases unit, assisted by Quincy Police Detective Jim Menz. The district attorney's office says it does not call unsolved cases "cold cases" and continues to pursue them. Anyone with information may call the State Police tip line at the Norfolk District Attorney's Office at 781-830-4990, Quincy Police at 617-745-5768, or the State Police Unresolved Case Unit at 1-855-627-6583. The investigation is ongoing and no information about a perpetrator has been released.
