Do you recognize this man? Has he been missing? Coeur d’Alene police personnel believe this is what the individual whose bones were found in the quarry off Kathleen Avenue in September may have looked like. Anyone with information is asked to contact the police department at 208-769-2320.
The Coeur d’Alene Police Department is asking for the public’s help in identifying human remains that were discovered in September.
The department was contacted Sept. 3 about bones found in a quarry, east of Ramsey Elementary School on West Kathleen Avenue, belonging to Central Premix.
Police said two children were exploring when they found old articles of clothing along with the bones in a bed of weeds, which included a skull with missing teeth. The skull was not fractured.
The remains had been in the quarry for approximately two to three years.
Detectives have been able to determine the remains belonged to a man between 30 and 50 years old. The man had a small-to-average build and was missing several teeth. Additionally, one top front tooth was turned sideways.
The clothing found with the remains includes a dark-colored Nike T-shirt and tan and brown Russell brand athletic-type shorts.
The police department offered a forensic sketch of what the man may have looked like.
Anyone with information about the identity of this man is encouraged to contact Detective Jacob Rodgers with the Coeur d’Alene Police Department at 208-769-2320.
