PARK COUNTY, Colo. — Human remains were found at a campsite outside of Bailey earlier this week, according to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
A bit after noon on Tuesday, the Park County Sheriff’s Office received a report about possible human remains found near the Deer Creek Campground outside of Bailey. Two hikers found the remains. One had been solo hiking and the other was with family.
Deputies responded to the scene. The area was secured after the sheriff's office, Park County Coroner’s Office, and the CBI confirmed that the discovery was human remains.
Forensic specialists are examining the campsite to collect evidence and any other information about the circumstances that led to the person's death.
The person has not yet been identified.
"As with any death investigation, and certainly one discovered as human remains with some passage of time, we will investigate this in a manner consistent with suspected foul play," CBI said.
CBI is leading this investigation.
Limited other information is available as of Thursday afternoon.
Anybody with information or a tip about this case is asked to call the CBI at 720-295-6642.
