MISSOULA — An investigation into human remains found west of Missoula in late June is continuing.
The Missoula County Sheriff's Office reports the remains, which were found on June 29, 2024, on Deep Creek Road, have not been able to be identified. Additionally, the cause of death has yet to be determined.
The remains were taken to the Montana Medical Examiner’s Office in Missoula for further investigation but no conclusive results were determined following weeks of review.
Members of the University of Montana Anthropology Department assisted in the attempt to identify the remains which have been taken to the Forensic Science Division in Billings for a more in-depth examination.
Missoula County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Jeannette Smith stated that the remains found in the Clark Fork River on October 13, are not related to the remains found on Deep Creek Road.
