A headless torso that was found in a remote cave in Idaho 40 years ago has finally been identified as belonging to an outlaw who killed his wife with an axe and was last seen after escaping from jail in 1916.
Clark county sheriff Bart May said on Tuesday the cold case will remain open because investigators do not know who killed Joseph Henry Loveless. But they were able to notify one of Loveless’ surviving relatives, an 87-year-old grandson, of his fate.

Apologies to @Bigphoot2 I had not seen you had made a thread on this.
But I just added this story to the Nominative Determinism thread where I feel it also deserves an entry in it's own right.

No problem. Agreed - it fits there as well.
