Raymond Jones, a 39-year-old man form Salmon, Idaho, was last seen on September 7, 1968. He was bowhunting mountain goats in Lemhi county before he went missing.
Authorities say there were other hunters in camp, but Jones was by himself when he went missing.
Now, 53 years later, his remains have been found by another hunter, according to Lemhi County Sheriff, Steve Penner.
According to Penner, a hunter called the sheriff’s office from the same area where Jones disappeared, saying he found human remains.
“The hunter was seeking a shortcut from one hunting area to another when he found human remains and then contacted the sheriff’s office,” Penner said.
Once the body had been recovered, police found Jones’ wallet and ID, confirming the remains were his.
The sheriff’s office informed Jones’ wife, who is still living, that his body had been found.
