The identity of the deceased is still under investigation by the Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office
On Monday (April 22), Clark County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) patrol deputies, acting on an online report from a resident, located partially decomposed human remains in a tent structure at a transient camp in the wooded area north of NE 179th St near NE 10th Ave. Due to several factors, including the difficulty accessing the site, a recovery plan was made for the morning.
On Tuesday (April 23), volunteers from Clark County Search and Rescue and Silver Star Search and Rescue cut a path through the woods, allowing easier access to the transient camp. CCSO Major Crimes Unit (MCU) and the Clark County Medical Examiner’s office disassembled the tent structure and recovered the human remains. There were indications the remains had been there for an extended period of time, with initial estimates of between 6–12 months.
The identity of the deceased is still under investigation by the Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office.
At this point, there are no indications of foul play, but the death remains under investigation by CCSO MCU.
