KISS Badges Help ID Remains Of Missing Albertan

July 20, 2008

Kevin Crush of Edmonton Alberta, Canada's Edmonton Sun reports: Gene Simmons doesn't know it yet, but his legendary rock band had a major role in helping to solve the mysterious discovery of a man's remains in Vegreville.

And now friends and relatives of Robin Douglas Goodwin, who would have turned 47 in February, want to thank the tongue-wagging KISS frontman.

It all started last Nov. 3, when the body of an unknown man was discovered in a wooded area near Vegreville.

Eleven days later, RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) released several photos in an attempt to identify the man.

The pictures showed a denim jacket with several badges — including several for KISS.

"Once I saw the jacket I knew that was my friend's jacket," said Ken Peterson, who grew up with Goodwin in rural Saskatchewan.

"There (are) not too many people who have that amount of badges all on one denim jacket."
