SALT LAKE CITY — Skeletal remains found on Friday at Lambert Park have been identified as a 24-year-old woman from Alpine.
On Tuesday, Lone Peak Police Department said the human remains were identified as Gabrielle Makenna Shull, who police said went missing in January 2024.
“Although the forensic anthropology exam is not complete, foul play is not suspected at this time,” the police department said. “Our thoughts are with Gabbie’s family at this terribly difficult time.”
Shull’s family also gave the following statement:
“Gabbie’s sweet personality has been and will continue to be greatly missed. Our family is so grateful her remains were found and also to the many, many people who helped in trying to find her.”
Lone Peak police were originally called out to a report of human remains found at the park, where officers said family, friends and authorities looked for Shull when she went missing. The park is “largely underdeveloped,” police said, and is used mostly for biking, equestrian and foot traffic.
Investigators said the events surrounding her death were still being investigated as of Wednesday, but no foul play was suspected in it.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
