The remains of a western Wisconsin woman missing since 2016 in St. Cloud, Minn., were found Saturday in Stearns County.
The St. Cloud Police Department on Tuesday said the skeletal remains were identified by the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office as belonging to Shannah Marie Boiteau of Chippewa Falls, Wis.
A property owner in the 25000 block of County Road 74 called police just after noon Saturday and reported possible human remains on his property, according to police.
This is the approximate area where Boiteau was last seen almost nine years ago, according to police. On June 22, 2016, the 23-year-old Boiteau had run from a vehicle driven by her boyfriend in the area of Interstate 94 and County Road 74, according to police.
In a 2016 news release, St. Cloud police said Boiteau was believed to have fled Wisconsin due to an arrest warrant on a probation violation.
The case remains under investigation, and further updates will be provided as the investigation develops, police said.
