Human remains believed to be missing person found in Ivy Creek

[...]

With better weather on their side, search crews located the missing vehicle around 9:30 a.m. on June 5.

It was completely submerged in about five feet of water in a large pool near where the first vehicle was found. It has not been able to be removed yet.

Then, around 12:30 p.m., a canine search crew picked up the scent of possible human remains about a third of a mile downstream from where the people were initially seen being swept away by flood waters.

Crews were sent to the location of the scent, and, after removing debris and mud, found human remains they believe to be the last missing person.

The victims’ names are not being released at this time while the medical examiner officiates the identification.
