Human Remains of Missing Oswego Veteran Identified After 12 Years

Two cases involving missing men and the discovery of human remains have been reported recently. In Kenora, Terry Cherry was charged with Indignity to a dead body related to the death of Mekhi Pelly Scott, whose remains have not yet been found despite ongoing searches involving multiple police and community units; foul play has not been ruled out in this case. Separately, human remains found in September in New Haven, Oswego County, New York, have been identified as John T. Humphrey, a U.S. Army veteran who went missing in 2012 after recently being released from a mental health facility. Authorities have confirmed no signs of foul play in Humphrey's death, though the cause remains under investigation. Both cases highlight ongoing efforts by law enforcement to resolve long-standing missing person investigations and bring closure to the families involved.
