CASPER, Wyo. — Human remains were found Sunday afternoon on the Greenbelt Trail, the Laramie Police Department said in a release today.

Officers were alerted by a man who found the remains while walking his dog in the area of West Curtis Street around 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 5.

Investigators found skeletal remains which appeared to be human.
 

The father of the missing Laramie man, Christopher “Fid” Mauk, said the remains of the body found in Laramie on Sunday were likely those of his son.

Though the Laramie Police Department has not yet publicly identified the remains, Mauk’s father, Jerry Mauk, said he received a call from a Laramie police detective around 6 p.m. Sunday, informing him that the body found in Laramie River Greenbelt Park by a dog walker on Nov. 5 was Christopher.
 

"Jerry Mauk wasn’t sure of the exact location of where the body was found, but said family members who saw the police on scene told him that it was within about a six-block walk from Lee’s Mobile Home Park on N. Cedar Street, where Mauk lived with his girlfriend, 42-year-old Nikki Gallegos.

Mauk, 40, has been missing since July 2, 2022, according to Gallegos. In a previous interview with the Wyoming Truth, she said Mauk was crying when he woke her up at 5:30 a.m. that morning. He said he had secrets and wanted to talk as soon as he got out of the shower. Gallegos said she fell asleep before they had that conversation and never saw or heard from him again.

Mauk, who was missing the lower half of his left leg following a fireworks accident in 2018, did not have a prosthetic leg and relied on crutches that he left at home, along with his wallet, eyeglasses and medications, Gallegos said."

Sure does not sound like he left the house on his own.
