Multiple Human Remains Found Across Colorado Under Investigation

Multiple cases involving the discovery of human remains have been reported across Colorado and Oregon in recent weeks. In Boulder County, decomposed human remains were found near the Flatirons Vista Trailhead, prompting a joint investigation by the Boulder County Sheriff's Office and Coroner's Office, with no indication of a broader threat to the community. In Pueblo, more than 20 bodies were found at Davis Mortuary, owned by the county coroner Brian Cotter and his brother, leading to a state investigation by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation; authorities are working to identify the remains amid concerns about unverified record keeping. In Costilla County, human remains were discovered on private property in a remote area, and investigations are ongoing to determine the victim's identity and cause of death. Meanwhile, in Oregon, authorities identified a person of interest connected to the remains of a 20-year-old woman found in a storage unit, with the suspect currently in custody in Colorado awaiting extradition. These cases underscore ongoing efforts by law enforcement to investigate and identify victims while addressing public safety concerns.
