GRANITE COUNTY, Mont. (NMB) – The Montana Standard reports that Granite County authorities have identified human remains that were discovered in the Welcome Creek Wilderness back in 2014.
Through DNA genealogy work, the remains have been identified as those of David Jon Milek of Dallas, Texas. He was 32-years-old when he was last seen by his family in 2011.
Camping gear was found near the remains, but local authorities struggled for years to identify them before recently partnering with the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office and a DNA lab in Texas.
A cause of death cannot be determined, but foul play is not suspected.
