Anthony Angelli Rea, a teenager missing since August 1988, was identified through skeletal remains originally found in 1992. His remains were discovered in Newburyport, half-buried near Route 95 South. For more than 30 years, the cause of death was undetermined due to limitations in DNA identification methods. The Essex District Attorney's Office announced that Rea was identified with the help of Othram, a Texas-based forensic lab, which used advanced DNA profiling techniques. The case was supported by funding from the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System.
