The Brigham City Police Department announced Friday that the remains were those of a female, which was previously suspected but not known definitively.

Detectives also now know the woman was between 30 and 50 years old when she died. She was of “European descent” and approximately 5 feet to 5 feet 6 inches. She was wearing an “Original Cold Storage brand hoodie, along with a long sleeve V-neck shirt, black leggings and black socks,” the police statement said.

The police department said the woman’s DNA was being tested at a private lab, and the results were not yet completed.

 

Detectives are treating the case as a homicide. They asked anyone who might have information to help their investigation to call the police department at (435) 856-7023.
