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.

Has this “someone” been identified?

Agreed.

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.

I haven't seen it mentioned before (I could have missed it) but I am watching it now. Very informative. Thanks so much for sharing it!

Dog walker, KM, who has been named, didn’t see the remains. He saw the LE response and recovery people and vehicles, of which he took photos. To my knowledge, he has not said he found the remains.

I’ve not read anything about the person walking on the north side of the monument being a dog walker.

I believe it is two different people.

Thanks for clarifying that for me. I was picturing a hiker who had their dog along. I can't even find the references to a dog walker in the articles I had previously read.
