The Los Angeles coroner's office says skeletal remains found buried in the backyard of a missing couple's former home were almost all destroyed in March 1995.
Craig Harvey, operations chief at the Los Angeles County coroner's office, says everything except parts of a skull were incinerated then interred in an east Los Angeles cemetery about 10 months after they were unearthed by a contractor excavating a hole for a swimming pool.
The body is thought to be Jonathan Sohus, who went missing along with his wife Linda nearly a decade earlier when a man now known as Clark Rockefeller was a tenant in their family's San Marino guesthouse.
Rockefeller, who was arrested Aug. 2 in Baltimore after allegedly kidnapping his daughter in Boston, has been named a "person of interest" in the couple's disappearance.
No one has been charged in the case, and Rockefeller has denied any involvement in the disappearance.
