A murder victim whose bones were found almost 40 years ago in Ohio has been identified through DNA as missing O’Jays guitarist Frank Little Jr.

Authorities used DNA and genealogical research to identify the remains of Frank ‘Frankie’ Little Jr, and identified him as their murder victim on Wednesday.

Little, a Vietnam veteran who played with the O’Jays during the 1960s before leaving the band to pursue a woman, died of blunt force trauma.

No motive has been shared, and cops have not pinpointed any possible suspects.

After he was killed, his bones were stuffed in a garbage bag and dumped in a wooded area in Twinsburg, Ohio, where they were found in February 1982.

It is unclear if Little had been reported missing to police.

Little is believed to have been alive until at least the mid-1970s, with investigators hopeful of new leads now they’ve identified the victim.
