Why wait to report him missing for three days?

I trail ride in that area, and he was not that far from Jamestown. There are much more remote areas near there.

I'm not understanding this one at all if they have some belief that this is him then why is he still listed as missing and this person listed as unidentified?

They are probably waiting on DNA to confirm. Those remains were just found in June 2020. It can take several months for DNA extraction from skeletal remains. It sometimes requires more than one extraction to get usable DNA from bone marrow or teeth. And they also have to have something to compare the DNA sample to-- if they don't already have family DNA on file for comparison then that requires contacting the family and getting a sample, etc. There was always a testing backlog before Covid and I imagine Covid has slowed down DNA testing more. MOO.

Rest in Peace Danny
