Frozen Body Identified After 50 Years in Pennsylvania Cave

Authorities confirm the remains are those of Nicholas Paul Grubb, ending a decades-long mystery.

  • The body, found in 1977, was discovered by hikers near the Pinnacle in Albany Township.
  • Initial investigations determined the cause of death was a drug overdose, with no signs of foul play.
  • Efforts to identify the body using dental records, DNA, and genealogy were unsuccessful until recently.
  • A breakthrough came when a detective uncovered the original fingerprint card from the 1977 autopsy.
  • Grubb's family has been notified and plans to bury his remains in the family plot.
