His savage rifle and the meager supplies he carried are in the rcmp museum in Regina. They also display the single round he had hidden under the butt plate of his rifle. The true identity of Albert Johnson remains unknown his DNA was searched:
In 2009 a televised exhumation of Johnson's corpse was aired[5] in which DNA comparisons were made to confirm Johnson's identity. A forensic team sponsored by the Discovery Channel exhumed Johnson's body on August 11, 2007 and conducted forensic tests on his remains before re-interring it in an attempt to confirm his true identity conclusively. All candidates tested against were eventually excluded with 100 percent certainty. By analyzing isotopes in Johnson's teeth, it was determined that Johnson was not Canadian but likely grew up in the Corn Belt of midwest America or possibly Scandinavia.[6] It was also reported that he was aged in his 30s when he died.[7]
