Remains discovered in a Rittman woods in September 2011 were eventually identified as Jack Hall, a man who had been reported missing in 1967. A hunter found severely decomposed bones near the Morton Salt property; the Wayne County Coroner estimated the remains had been at the site for more than six months. Forensic anthropologists led by Dr. Dennis Dirkmaat from Mercyhurst College recovered additional bones and fragments over several days, and initial analysis suggested a middle-aged white male based on skeletal fusion.

DNA processing and further forensic work linked the remains to Jack Hall, who had last been seen working at a company near the same Morton Salt property. The identification process stretched over years because of the condition of the remains and the need to cross-reference missing persons records. If anyone knew Jack or has information about his disappearance or time working near Morton Salt, please share what you know.
