The bones were transported to the Midwest Medical Examiner's Office for analysis. The Pine County Sheriff's Office stated they are awaiting positive identification before any more information is released but that foul play is not suspected at this time.

Kim Opsahl, mother of Scott Kleppen, said in a statement to the Pine County Courier that found on the skeletal remains were clothing and Scott's wallet, though badly weathered. Opsahl stated that from what she has been told from the search team, it will be difficult to determine the cause of Scott's death, but it is likely accidental due to the fact that a tree was found lying on top of his remains. She added that they are awaiting DNA results to obtain further information.
