“FISTY, Ky. (WYMT) - On May 7th, 2015 Natasha Fugate went missing from her home in the Fisty Community of Knott County.

Fugate left behind her family, which includes her two sons.

Ola Chaffins is Fugate's grandmother and describes the past four years in two words.

‘Pure hell,’ said Chaffins.

Chaffins still fights back tears when talking about her granddaughter.

‘You hope and pray that it's not but on the other hand you want closure. It's just, I don't know how to describe it,’ said Chaffins.

On Sunday remains were found in the Wabaco community of Perry County. When news like this arrives Fugate's family, along with families of other people missing from the area, holds out hope it may bring an end to their long-running nightmare.

Looks like a creek and railroad tracks across the road so not likely due to flooding. I wonder how old the bones are.

“PERRY COUNTY, Ky. (WYMT)- Updated, Nov. 21

Thursday, we learned the bones discovered in Perry County during the weekend were sent to the University of Tennessee for identification.

Though the entire skeleton was found, it could take months for identification. The Perry County coroner gave WYMT the following statement:

‘Until further inspection by the anthropologist at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, we cannot scientifically confirm the sex of the remains until a full report has been released from the University of Tennessee.’

Update: Skeletal remains found in Perry County sent to University of Tennessee

Have these remains been identified yet? Last I recall they were sent to
Univ of Tenn in Knoxville - Nov 2019.

Not that I can find, and there doesn’t appear to have been any further developments since November. I also did “Date Body Found” and “Location Found” searches on NamUs, and it does not appear that the UID has been entered into the database.

Tyler North has been missing since 2018, doubtful it's him, but a possibility.

He went missing from the neighboring county, Leslie.
