The Sheriff’s Office doesn’t currently have any cold cases or missing individuals linked to the human remains that were discovered and neither do authorities on the Utah side of the lake. However, Hesligton said they are still researching older records that could give them some answers.
Authorities also said they don’t believe there’s a threat to the public.
A jawbone and teeth were among the human remains found Thursday morning on the shore of Bear Lake, officials have confirmed.

The area of the shore where the remains were found is often underwater.
Anthropologists from Idaho State University arrived at the lake Friday to further examine the remains.
Around 6 p.m. Friday, the sheriff's office announced that the forensic anthropologists had finished their work in the area. They "systematically excavated the site until they reached sterile soil," an update read. During the process, they found some more bones but only small fragments. It's not yet known if they are human.
