MEADVIEW – Human remains located this week in a remote desert area near the Meadview Overlook have been connected to a more than three-year-old missing persons case.
Brandon Parish, 19, was last seen in the Meadview area in Feb., 2021, according to the Mohave County Sheriff’s Office. Agency spokeswoman Anita Mortensen said family members reported him missing in March, 2021.
Mortensen said a review of the site where the discovery occurred at about 9:43 a.m. on Wednesday, May 1, has authorities believing the remains are those of Parish. She said an autopsy by the Medical Examiner will attempt to determine positive identification and cause of death.
Mortensen said evidence at the scene of the remains provided no indication of foul play.
