 According to the Times & Transcript , Gene Simmons doesn't know it yet, but his legendary rock band had a
major role in solving the mysterious discovery of a man's remains east
of Edmonton.
Now friends and relatives of Robin Douglas Goodwin want to thank the tongue-wagging Kiss frontman.
It started last November when the body of an unknown man was
discovered in a wooded area near Vegreville, Alta. Pictures released by
the RCMP in an attempt to identify the man showed a denim jacket with
several Kiss badges.
"Once I saw the jacket I knew that was my
friend's jacket," says Ken Peterson, who grew up with Goodwin in rural
Saskatchewan. "There's not too many people who have that amount of
badges all on one denim jacket."
Goodwin's friends and family are hoping to thank Simmons when he's in town for this week's Indy race in Edmonton.
Goodwin
was last seen Sept. 22, 2006, just after his shift as a heavy-duty
mechanic in Nisku. His remains turned up 13 months later. RCMP are
treating his death as suspicious but are not releasing a cause.
