Lyon County Sheriff’s Office Identifies Man Whose Skull Was Found on Neosho River

The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office has successfully identified a man whose skull was discovered on the Neosho River, following a meticulous investigation.

On April 29, 2017, deputies from the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office were called to the 2000 block of Road 145 on the north side of Neosho Rapids, where they stumbled upon a human skull along the riverbanks.

Upon the discovery, detectives took over the case and began their investigation. The details of the case were entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System in August 2017. Subsequently, in 2018, the case was referred to the FBI for DNA analysis.

Fast forward to 2022, when forensic evidence was passed on to Othram scientists for further examination. The experts at Othram were able to create a DNA profile of the unidentified individual, leading to new breakthroughs in the case. The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office, armed with this new information, reached out to a potential relative of the man in question.

Through subsequent DNA testing with family members, the deceased was positively identified as Randy Bruce Clayton, who was born on Oct. 12, 1953.

In a statement, the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office expressed their gratitude to Othram/ DNASolves.com, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, NamUs, and the Lyon County Attorney’s Office for their invaluable assistance in the identification of Mr. Clayton.

Despite this significant development, the investigation remains ongoing, and the sheriff’s office has refrained from disclosing any further details at this time.
