In April, the FBI's Boston office told local media outlets it had found remains at the Providence site but declined to share additional details on the ongoing investigation. The remains were sent to the Rhode Island medical examiner's office for examination and DNA testing.

That testing came up positive this week, 23 years after DiSarro's disappearance.

DiSarro's widow, Pamela, shared the following statement with FOX News and other media outlets:

"We’d like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation for all the efforts that went into locating Steven. We look forward to the conclusion of the FBI’s investigation so we can learn as much as possible about what really happened to Steven and finally get some closure for our family."
