I can only imagine this would be Alex Kollar, the kayaker who meant missing October '21, but I imagine they've already tried to match these remains to him.

''Authorities have closed the case of skeletal remains found last year in the Deschutes River north of Archie Briggs Road, concluding that there is currently no way to identify them.
The remains were found by a young girl swimming in the Deschutes River in northwest Bend on Aug. 27, 2022, Bend Police said at the time. Police collected bones from the river, and the state medical examiner’s office confirmed that they were human remains.
One day later, the Deschutes County Search and Rescue team found more bones, which led police to believe the remains were from a single person who had been in the river for a year or longer.


Police sent the remains to the state medical’s examiner’s office for possible DNA identification, but were told on Sept. 21 that identification was not possible because the bone sample tested “was too degraded with bacteria to obtain a DNA profile.”

''The lack of movement in the case led District Attorney Steve Gunnels to close it. It won’t reopen until more information becomes available, he said.''

I really hope one of the top labs for DNA extraction tried again.
