Human Remains Found on Joerk Road in Randle

Human remains were located by a property owner in the 100 block of Joerk Road in Randle on Thursday morning, September 22, 2011.

Detectives of the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office say it is a possibility that the remains could belong to a missing person reported to the Sheriff’s Office in April of 2011; however, there is not a positive identification at this time.  The remains were located approximately 1.5 miles from where the missing person was last seen.

Trisha Mckenzie-Fire, a 57 year old female from Randle, was last seen April 2, at approximately 0300, after a social gathering at her residence off of Silverbrook Road.

The skeletal remains will be sent to the King County Medical Examiner’s Office for a Forensic Anthropologist to examine and hopefully provide a positive identification and cause of death.
