Human remains and clothing were found in the Gold Creek area where a missing 7-month pregnant woman vanished in February.
Netafaree Bartell vanished without leaving a trace on February 21 after telling her mother that she planned to meet her boyfriend at the Premier Meadow Cabin.
But investigators said that the cabin had been demolished before the disappearance of the mom-of-two. Her dog was located in good shape in the mountains a week later.
Montana authorities were alerted by FWP personnel of several pieces of female clothing found in the area on May 4.
After a further search, Missoula County Search and Rescue found human remains. The Medical Examiner's Office is working on the identification of the remains.
“Missoula County Search and Rescue have shown great dedication and perseverance in their search efforts over the last several weeks,” Sheriff Jeremiah Petersen said.
“We also greatly appreciate the attention to detail by Montana FWP employees and their immediate conveyance of information.”
