Human remains found in Alpine park, investigation launched

At around 8:30 p.m. on April 25, Lone Peak Police responded to a report of suspected skeletal human remains in Alpine’s Lambert Park. The park is reportedly mostly undeveloped and used for biking, equestrian, and foot traffic.

Upon arrival, officers found what appeared to be human skeletal remains, a press release from Lone Peak Police states. Police reportedly cordoned off the area and secured the scene to ensure the integrity of the finding.

Investigators then processed the scene Saturday morning, April 26, officials said.

“Investigators worked meticulously to document and recover the remains,” the release states. “At this time, the identity of the deceased and the circumstances surrounding their death remain under investigation.”

The remains have reportedly been taken to the Medical Examiner’s Office for further examination.
