Bones rancher found on property identified

CHADRON, Neb. (AP) — Authorities have tentatively identified the human remains found in northwest Nebraska’s Dawes County.

County Attorney Vance Haug (howg) says a positive identification is pending dental records or DNA tests. Consequently, the name of the person won’t be released.

A rancher found the remains on his property July 16 while moving cattle near the South Dakota line.

The cause of the person’s death has not been determined.
