DNA testing confirms that human remains recently recovered from Mansfield Hollow Lake are those of a man who was reported missing on Christmas Eve, 2004.
Robert Cavanaugh was 51 when he disappeared. State police say he is believed to have left a suicide note.
After the remains were discovered by the Mansfield Fire Dept. last month, state police divers also recovered a Mazda pickup truck registered to Cavanaugh, along with parking passes, a name tag and a license plate.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner conducted the testing.
