Overview
- Investigators confirmed the long-unidentified skeleton found near Loucks Road and Howland Road in West Manchester Township in 2013 is David Anthony Queen.
- Queen was reported missing from Baltimore in December 2006 at age 42 and had not been located before the remains were discovered.
- The identification used DNA analysis and forensic genealogy led by the nonprofit DNA Doe Project working with local police and coroner’s staff.
- York County District Attorney Tim Barker said his office is investigating the death as a homicide and asked anyone with information to contact investigators; no arrests have been announced.
- The case highlights how modern genetic techniques can resolve cold cases and requires continued coordination between jurisdictions while giving Queen’s family a clearer answer.
