Topaz Mountain • Police searching for Susan Cox Powell found human remains Wednesday but do not yet know whether they belong to the woman who disappeared almost two years ago.
Several cadaver dogs confirmed remains discovered just before 2 p.m. were human, said West Valley City police Lt. Bill Merritt. He did not know how old the remains are and would not say how intact they were.
Investigators ended their search of the area and excavation of the remains for the day at about 4 p.m. Merritt said it was getting too late for personnel from the Utah Medical Examiner’s office to travel and they will arrive Thursday morning instead.
Two detectives will camp overnight with the remains to protect the scene.
"There’s no hurry," Merritt said. "This is something we do not want to rush."
Wednesday’s discovery comes on a third day of a police search of the remote area on all-terrain vehicles, traversing dirt trails and sagebrush and checking some abandoned mines.
About six ATV riders spread out and drove slowly across the valley floor in a search pattern Wednesday. In the other direction, five cadaver dogs and handlers searched underneath trees and in gullies.
"We’re focusing on areas that make sense — close to roads, ravines,"said Merritt.
