Valemount, B.C. – The B.C. Coroner’s Service is trying to identify skeletal remains discovered in the  Robson Valley.

The remains were discovered last Thursday by a Robson Valley resident  who was surveying in an area close to the town of Valemount.

A large scale search of the area was conducted over two days involving BC Coroner Service, Valemount RCMP, McBride RCMP, Robson Valley Search and Rescue, Prince George Dog Section, Prince George Forensic Identification Section, Kamloops Air Section, and several volunteers.

Although  there are  historic missing person files in their  region, Valemount RCMP will not speculate on the possible identity pending a more detailed analysis.

BC Coroner remains as the lead investigative organization on this file as found human remains falls under their mandate.

Hopefully the family will now have peace & lay their loved one to rest.

might just be a bear. they haven’t said ‘human skeletal remains’.

Good point a_britishcolumbian…

And when ya really think about it… historically … there could be a lot of missing bear files in their region too…

LOL… Ok that’s my humor for the day… I’ll go away now… *smiles*

Actually a_britishcolumbian could be right for those of you laughing at his comment. If you take the skeleton from a bear and stand it up next to the mock skeleton your science teacher had in class it would look very identical. But to have that much police attention i am gonna guess it is more than likely human
