NORTH MOHAVE COUNTY – Positive identification has been made involving a second set of human remains in what began as a missing persons investigation in north Mohave County. It was January 2018 when the Mohave County Sheriff’s office began checking into the disappearance of David and Susan McFalls, both 62.
The McFalls had homes in Littlefield as well as in West Jordan, Utah.
Early court records indicated the sheriff’s office was conducting a possible murder investigation, though the agency later labeled it as a death investigation.
Two sets of human remains were discovered in October, 2018 in a desert area near the Virgin River Gorge in extreme northwest Arizona. The Medical Examiner’s office in November, 2018 was able to identify one set of remains as those of Mrs. McFalls.
Sheriff’s office spokeswoman Anita Mortensen said the Medical Examiner’s Office has now identified the second set of remains as those of Mr. McFalls. The investigation continues.
