CHEHALIS – Lewis County Sheriff Steve Mansfield said his office has not yet learned the identity of the skeletal remains found last week near Morton, but a forensic pathologist has ruled out two missing people.<\/p>\n

Specialists have confirmed the remains are not those of Nancy Moyer from Tenino or Lindsey Baum of McCleary, Mansfield said today.<\/p>\n

A motorist who pulled off U.S. Highway 12 near Morton to take a break spotted the remains off the side of a logging road about 5:30 p.m. on April 7, according to the sheriff’s office.<\/p>\n

The sheriff’s office at the time said they were hopeful it wouldn’t take long to figure out who the deceased was, based on dental work.<\/p>\n

The remains were to be sent to the King County Medical Examiner’s Office for examination.<\/p>\n

Both females vanished in 2009.<\/p>\n

Moyer, 36, was last seen by a co-worker on March 6, 2009. The 5-foot tall mother of two was reported missing when her husband returned their children to her Tenino home two days later.<\/p>\n

She was not there, but her purse and vehicle were.<\/p>\n

Eleven-year-old Lindsey was last seen June 26, 2009, when she left a friend’s house in McCleary to walk home.<\/p>\n

The walk should have taken 10 minutes, but she never arrived home.<\/p>\n

The sheriff’s office released little information about last week’s find, but said it was doubtful the remains had been in the place they were found for very long, because it was a well-used logging road.<\/p>\n

Sheriff Mansfield said they are also trying to determine the identity of the remains through DNA.<\/p>\n

Dental work was used to find the identity of a skull found March 26 near Mineral.<\/p>\n

It belonged to Michael Lloyd Riemer<\/a>, a 36-year-old Pierce County man who went missing in December 1985.<\/p>\n
