Agreed.

I just thought that spot or area is an interesting place for a walk.

But rereading the news clip, I guess “walking along the north side of the monument” could mean the walker was up top?

It was someone walking their dog. Discussed and link upthread.

I think the question is whether the dog walker actually walked up upon the site or did he/she see the remains from above? The reports don't seem to give enough information yet.

I suppose I should have been more thorough in my reply. I guess I was also replying to the question asked if the someone had been identified. I just replied on the last one. Apologies.

The dog walker (KM) that took the original photos of recovery of the remains has posted 3D maps on google earth, 6 images to scroll through of where the remains were found. Hoping it's ok to share this here!

Authorities: Items belonging to Chance Englebert found with skeletal remains in Nebraska

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (KNOP) - The Gering Police Department and multiple other agencies continue to investigate skeletal remains located Friday on the Scotts Bluff National Monument property.

The Scotts Bluff County Attorney’s Office said Thursday that Chance Englebert’s family confirmed the belongings found during searches were his. Englebert, a Wyoming man, went missing on July 6, 2019.

Apologies if this has been mentioned, but if anyone hasn't seen the first open interview of Private Investigator Ryan Couch from 2 months ago about Chance's case, I highly recommend. It was most informative.
