CUMRU TWP., Pa. - Officials in Berks County have exhumed an unidentified body as part of two missing persons cases in two separate states.
Officials on Monday exhumed the body at Potter's Field. The John Doe was found in a cave near the Blue Mountain ridge in Berks County in 1977. Authorities said no foul play was suspected in that case.
Now, the body has been exhumed in connection with two missing persons cases in Florida and Illinois.
WFMZ's Jim Vasil will have more on the investigation at 4 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

My husband and his friend found this poor soul in the cave all those years ago. Two years ago they exhumed his body to try to make a genetic match to one of two missing persons whose dental records were similar but inconclusive. We’ve still not heard anything. We pray this man is identified soon and that he goes home from the Potter’s field to his family.

I was happy to see they did the DNA. My fingers are crossed for him.
I'm curious. What was your husband's impression of how this John Doe got to the cave? I always wondered about that. Did he look like he may have been hiking?
