MARYSVILLE, Wash. – A bulldozer operator found human remains in the Marysville landfill 45 years ago.

Officials finally found out who the remains belonged to this month, after decades of searching, DNA tests and the case growing colder.

Officials would later re-examine the remains in March 2012, even reconstructing the cranium and re-assembling skeletal remains. This took several years.

It was in April 2021 when the SCSO returned to Othram, who has helped them in the past. The Texas-based lab again came through, able to develop a DNA profile and finding the man was predominantly Native American.

Officials then took the profile and were able to make family trees and learned Blaine Has Tricks disappeared in 1977 after hopping a train to Spokane, Washington with his brother, Clayton ‘Ross’ Has Tricks. Ross returned home to North Dakota, but Blaine was never found or heard from again.
