island |
|
October 16, 2015 |
The Boundary County Sheriff's Office announced
yesterday that "skeletal human remains" were
discovered on a gravel island in the Kootenai
River east of Bonners Ferry. The remains, a
skeleton mostly intact, was discovered by
workers clearing brush in the Kootenai River
Habitat Restoration Project, which is the river
engineering work being done that is visible from
the Kootenai Bridge.
The remains were removed in coordination with
the Boundary County Coroner. An autopsy has been
scheduled to learn more about these remains.
The Sheriff's Office has indicated that they
have been in touch with the Lincoln County,
Montana Sheriff's Office to determine if the
remains might be related to any open missing
persons cases from Montana.
We will continue to provide further information
on this as it becomes available. |
