Sixty-Year Cold Case Solved | Detroit News

A 60-year-old cold case in Oregon’s woods finally cracked thanks to genetic genealogy—identifying the victim as Armes Henry Lahti, a gentle WWII Navy vet nicknamed “Mousy.” Found in 1972 with two gunshot wounds, his death likely occurred around 1962. DNA analysis in 2025 linked him to his hometown of Astoria, where family remembered him as a fisherman and proud service member. Though his identity is now known, the killer remains at large—only a bar dispute and a rifle in hand point to a possible motive around 1965. Authorities still seek any leads to deliver justice for Armes and his family. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
