John Gillies Identified After Six Years | Glasgow News

In a heart-wrenching yet triumphant case, skeletal remains found in Wyoming’s Wind River Mountains in September 2023 have been identified as John Gillies, a Scottish man who vanished in 2019. Personal items linked him to his ex-wife, who provided vital clues that led investigators to St. Mary’s Church in Kirkintilloch, Scotland. With DNA samples from his family and international cooperation from Interpol and Police Scotland, authorities confirmed his identity through forensic analysis at the Wyoming State Crime Lab. Now, after six years in the mountains, Gillies’ remains are being prepared for repatriation to Scotland — a powerful testament to the dedication of local, state, federal, and global law enforcement teams who brought closure to his family.
