Detectives continue search after remains found at ski resort

Detectives in Colorado are ruling out for now the possibility that human remains found inside a snow boot at a ski resort belong to a man who disappeared in January.

Boulder County Sheriff’s Office Cmdr. Mike Wagner says a 20-year-old man from Lafayette who worked for the resort remains missing. He disappeared after leaving work.

Investigators resumed their search for more remains Thursday but reported no new findings.

Wagner says an employee at Eldora Mountain Resort west of Boulder called police Wednesday after finding the size 13 boot in a clearing near the base of the mountain. Wagner says detectives searched the area but didn’t find any additional remains that night.

Wagner also says detectives don’t know how long the remains were in the clearing.
