The skeletal remains of a man found last fall in western Fremont County likely had been there for two to four years, or even longer, the county coroner said.

Fremont County coroner Randy Keller said a facial-reconstruction model was completed by a specialist in Denver in hopes of finding the next of kin for the man, described as a white male who was 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 11 inches tall and likely in his early 20s. Investigators found a surgical repair to the man’s left ankle, where they found two pins still existing.

“Hopefully, we can find a positive on the individual and bring closure to a family out there,” Keller said.

People who have information about the case can contact the Fremont County Coroner’s Office can be reached at 719-276-7358, Det. Howard Burton at 719-275-5557 or the Fremont County CrimeStoppers can be contacted at 719-275-7867.
