The breakthrough came in January 2025 when Popps anonymously confessed to the crime, leading investigators to discover Dearth’s remains in a barrel off the Steese Highway in May 2025. Popps was arrested in Michigan in June 2025 and is now awaiting extradition to Alaska. After nearly 33 years, justice is finally moving forward — a powerful reminder that persistence can still deliver closure, even decades later.
