May 3, 2021

Investigators are continuing to work on identifying the person found at the edge of a crop circle access road in southeast Benton County.

Farm workers discovered the “substantially decomposed” remains in a remote field between Finley and Plymouth on Thursday, Coroner Bill Leach said. So far, investigators have not found anything that would help determine who the person was.

Detectives finished processing the scene on Friday with help from the Washington State Patrol crime lab. Kennewick police are helping Benton County sheriff’s deputies with the investigation, sheriff’s Commander Jon Schwarder said in a release Friday.
[.....]
An autopsy is scheduled on Wednesday morning. It’s likely they will be able to determine the person’s gender, Leach said.


If someone finds a more recent article - maybe they have identified the person found.
