Remains found in New Brighton in March identified as woman missing since 2015

The New Brighton Department of Public Safety announced that remains found near Lake Jones in March of 2025 have been identified as a missing person.

After finding a skull on March 1, the New Brighton Department of Public Safety conducted a three-day search of the wetland area to look for more evidence. Dental records identified the skull as belonging to Haley Elizabeth Aymar in early 2026, authorities said.

Aymar was reported missing in 2015. She had been last seen by a friend on Dec. 3 of that year, also the day of her last social media post, in downtown Minneapolis.

It is not clear whether foul play is suspected in her disappearance and/or death.

Anyone with information on Aymar’s whereabouts or acquaintances in December 2015 is asked to submit it to haley@newbrightonmn.gov, submit it online, or call 651-288-4135.
