On August 10, 2024, the Howell County Sheriff’s Office Investigations Division discovered skeletal remains in rural Howell County Missouri. Due to the complexity of the scene, and the inclement weather, Howell County Patrol Deputies and Troopers from the Missouri State Highway Patrol maintained 24-hour coverage on the scene until the skeletal remains were fully recovered on August 14, 2024.
Identification of the remains has not been determined, and an autopsy will be conducted before the remains are sent to the Missouri State Highway Patrol Laboratory for identification. Please note that positive identification will take some time. As soon as the remains are positively identified, an update will be provided by the Howell County Sheriff’s Office.
The Howell County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the Missouri Highway Patrol, West Plains Police Department, West Plains Fire Department, Howell County Coroner’s Office, The Howell County Prosecutor’s Office, Howell County Road and Bridge, South Howell EMS, South Eastern Missouri State Anthropology Department, and the Investigators and Deputies from Fulton County, and Sharp County Arkansas for their assistance.
