The "Kolb Skeleton" was the name given to a man whose skeleton was found in the garage of photographer Emery Kolb in 1977. The remains had initially been found in the Grand Canyon in 1933.
He is currently undergoing testing by Ramapo College.
Case[]
The decedent may have initially been found in 1933. The remains were rediscovered after Emery Kolb's death. The exact date is disputed, occurring circa 1977-78 and/or 1980.
He was initially speculated to be Glen Hyde, who vanished in 1928, but superimposition has ruled this out.
Some sources state this decedent had died no earlier than 1972, despite the conclusion that the remains were the same depicted in Kolb's photograph.
