Can you link to where you got the info on where Melodee's remains were found please?

This is the original link I saw the information about Devil's Gate burial site.

Skeletal remains found near Devil's Gate, reports Elko County Sheriff's Office

The human remains were found on Dec. 14 in an area of Nevada known as Devil's Gate, near Silver City.

kslnewsradio.com

I am familiar with the area noted on the map that article referenced, which is near Lake Tahoe, in western Nevada not far from Reno. This didn't make any sense to me and I found the Devil's Gate Slot Canyon much closer to Elko NV.

Edited: This was INCORRECT information, now that the Press Release has given the correct information.

My apologies.
