The Colorado Bureau of Investigation is helping investigate after hikers discovered human remains in an area near an abandoned mine in Saguache County over the weekend.
The Saguache County Sheriff’s Office asked CBI agents to investigate to determine the identity of the person as well as the cause of death.
The remote location where the remains were found is in the western part of the county near the Hinsdale County line.
Based on the condition of the remains, it appears the body ahs been in the area for quite some time.
The CBI said there is no evidence that connects this case with the Suzanne Morphew investigation.
