The bones a man found in the basement of his house have been confirmed as the remains of his father, who disappeared in 1961.

Mike Carroll, who has lived in the Long Island, USA property his whole life, unearthed the intact skeleton in October - after seeing a psychic who told him his father’s remains were in the property.

Mr Carroll had a similar premonition years ago and began to dig himself.

He then hired experts who used equipment to discover some soil was amiss a couple of metres underground.

The family eventually made the discovery late on October 30 and called Suffolk County police the next day.

Now authorities have confirmed the bones do belong to his father, with the help of DNA tests,

George Carroll, a Korean War Vet, was last seen nearly 60 years ago when he was 26 or 27.

Mike and his three siblings were told by their late mother Dorothy that he had left one day and never returned.

Mike was just eight months old, while his brothers and sister were infants.

Tests have confirmed his skull was cracked open by “blunt force trauma”– but police say could have happened after the death.

The home was being built back then, and investigators are reported to believe he may have been buried by somebody with access to the site.

Despite the find, Mr Carroll told the New York Post he’s not looking for justice over what has become a murder investigation.

“The justice happened when we dug him up because we just interrupted the perfect crime — they almost got away with this,” he said.
