The family of a cold case victim in West Hazleton finally has some answers.
They spent close to 50 years suspecting Jane Doe 1970 was their loved one.
State police told Mitchell Johnson Jane Doe 1970 was identified as his aunt, Lucille Frye who went missing from Wilkes-Barre around the same time an unidentified body was found in the woods off I-81.
Since then, it has been considered an unsolved homicide. In September of 2016, her remains were exhumed and with DNA testing, police were able to identify Frye.
The investigation into her suspicious death is ongoing.
Fyre will be buried next to her family later in May.
