After extensive searching by law enforcement agencies and volunteers, Brunelle’s family hired a drone operator to take images of 4,000 acres of rugged high desert near the Oregon-Idaho line. In March, those images were given to Aloft Drone Search, a nonprofit group focused on missing-person cases, the sheriff’s office said.
On April 7, one of the group’s volunteers who was examining the drone images reported something that may have been human remains. The Malheur County sheriff was notified, and the following day deputies found the body at those coordinates — 2 miles from where Brunelle’s van had been. The sheriff’s office credited the family and Aloft Drone for “truly a remarkable find.”
