Police unable to explain man's death after body found in grounds of Wolverhampton school
North Wales Police offer a £20,000 reward and new DNA analysis techniques to identify the man found in Clocaenog Forest after over a decade of investigation.
- The North Wales Police Major Crime Review Team is renewing its investigation into the murder of an unidentified male victim whose remains were found in Clocaenog Forest, Conwy, and police urge anyone with information to come forward.
- A rally spectator discovered parts of a human skull at the Wales GB Rally stage, and following a forensic examination, forensic teams recovered near-complete skeletal remains, prompting a criminal probe.
- Detectives released seven key findings showing the victim was born prior to 1950, died between 2004 and 2011, suffered a violent death, and lay undiscovered for more than 10 years.
- Using new forensic resources, police hope advances in DNA recording and cross-referencing samples against larger databases could produce familial links, with Crimestoppers offering a 20,000 reward via the 24/7 UK contact centre on 0800 555 111, expiring April 16, 2026.
- Investigators are urging anyone who recognises the images or knew someone missing in the mid-2000s to come forward, as Mark Pierce said even the smallest information could be crucial.
