State police said remains found in November 2012 were identified as those of 14-year-old Joan Marie Dymond of Wilkes-Barre, who vanished from the Andover Street Park in June 1969.
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — Remains found a decade ago have been identified as those of a teenager girl who went missing in northeastern Pennsylvania more than a half-century ago, state police said.
“We never stopped pursuing answers, and this investigation remains very active,” Capt. Patrick Dougherty, commanding officer of PSP Troop P, said in a statement. “After 53 years, the family of Joan Marie Dymond very much deserves closure.

With the rise of investigative genetic genealogy — using direct-to-consumer DNA databases to identify victims and perpetrators of violent crimes — the Luzerne Foundation launched a “Closing Cases” fund, citing the Aden Mountain “Jane Doe.
