TRURO - Dental records were used as the source to identify the remains of murdered outlaw biker Randy Merserseau, an RCMP spokesperson says.
"Positive identification of the skeletal remains was made through dental records," Sgt. Brigdit Leger said late Monday afternoon.
Police discovered Mersereau's skeletal remains on Dec. 1 after searching for several days in a heavily wooded area of the Hiram Lynds Road in North River.
Leger said the remains were confirmed to the RCMP by the Nova Scotia Medical Examiner last Friday evening after being identified through forensic examination.
Mersereau disappeared in the fall of 1999, within weeks of a bombing at a used car dealership in Bible Hill that injured six people.
Mersereau escaped virtually unscathed but a few weeks later his vehicle was found abandoned near Milford on Highway 102.
Hells Angel member Jeffrey Albert Lynds of North River has been named in court documents as Mersereau's killer, although there is no indication that he has been charged with the crime.
Police have speculated in the past that Lynds earned his full-patch membership into the Hells Angels by killing Mersereau.
Lynds is currently in a Montreal jail where he is facing first-degree murder charges in an unrelated double homicide that occurred in late January. He is awaiting further court dates on the charges, which have not been proven in court.
Several other individuals, including Lynds's nephew, Curtis Lynds (see related story), have been charged as accessories in the murder for helping Jeffrey Lynds escape custody.
