DNA proof solves mystery of missing man after 30 years

Coroner John Cannon read the conclusion of a report on the DNA taken from James McGlynn and from the deceased man which concluded “my opinion is that these findings strongly support that James McGlynn had a relationship to the deceased, either a brother, father or son — it was that close a link”.
In 2010, Mr Cannon instructed samples be taken from the unidentified body which was buried in an unmarked grave in Dunfanaghy and compared with saliva samples given by James McGlynn.
