Possibly human remains found north of Naches by hunter

Remains were found in a remote location and have been turned over to Yakima County coroner to check dental records for identification

By The Associated Press
 
NACHES– Dental records may help identify human remains found by a hunter in a remote location several miles north of Naches.

Yakima County Coroner Jack Hawkins said he hopes to be able to confirm the person’s identity Monday or Tuesday after reviewing dental records and trying to match them to potentially related missing-person cases.

No information has been released about the potential identity of the remains.


The investigation started when a hunter sent a photo of a jawbone to the Yakima County Sheriff’s Office late Friday morning after discovering it in the Cleman Mountain area. Detectives headed to the site several miles north of Naches, using ATVs to get to within half a mile and hiking from there.

“Upon arrival, detectives located the jawbone and were able to determine that the jawbone appeared to be human,” detective Sgt. Mike Russell said in a news release sent late Friday.

“While documenting and searching the area, detectives located additional human bones and clothing confirming that human remains had been located,” the release said.

An initial cause of death could not be determined, according to authorities.

The scene suggested that the remains had been there for several years, Russell reported.

A few of us here are hoping it's the remains of a local who was last seen in 2012.

It'd be interesting to find out the exact location where the remains were found. Kind of suprised they weren't found sooner.

Was he a hunter?

Yeah, but he was last heard from by his family in June 2012. The family lives below the elk fence.

Been seeing lights up there think I can say the area but won't. It will be closure for the family if it's him

The person you are talking about was my best friend and I really hope his family has a shot at closure... It's a weird feeling hoping the remains belong to someone you know...

Saw on the news that the remains were in fact those of the missing local. Brings closure to the family.

Sad to hear. Was it hunting related?

Sounds to me like it could have been suicide.

I'm not going to say it wasn't, but travis was the most laid back happy in any scenario kind of guy you could imagine...  he had a tendency to go for hikes or "adventures" and not tell people where he was going.  I've missed my friend for years now and am happy his family can finally have closure.  I just hope whatever ended his life did so quickly and painlessly.  RIP brother!
