Photo / NCA NewsWireA jawbone that washed up on an Australian beach in 2011 belongs to a man who went missing at sea more than 30 years earlier, investigators and DNA experts have discovered. The inmate was the nephew of mariner Bill Moran, who was aged 24 when his motor cruiser sank in rough seas off Evans Head on September 24, 1979. Moran's jawbone was discovered on the beach exactly 32 years later. "The return of the jawbone to Mr Moran's family has brought closure after decades of searching for answers," NSW Police said on Sunday.
