MONTROSE, Colo. (KREX) – Human remains recently found in the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park have been positively identified a Denver man missing since February.
The National Parks Service said the remains were recovered on Sunday and have been confirmed to be Jordan Marsters. On Feb. 15, family members had reported Marsters missing to the Denver Police Department. He was linked to an abandoned vehicle at Black Canyon, which triggered an intensive search.
U.S. Park rangers conducted an operation over the weekend to recover Marsters’ remains, which were found in a remote, highly technical area within the wilderness of Black Canyon.
NPS said several agencies helped with the search including:
Capitol Reef National Park recovery team
Canyonlands National Park recovery team
Colorado National Monument recovery team
Curecanti National Recreation Area overhead and recovery team
Montrose County Coroner’s Office
Montrose County Sheriff’s Office investigative unit
Montrose County Road and Bridge
Friends of Black Canyon Search and Rescue volunteers contingency team
Mountain Blade Runner Helicopters
“These agencies and the family have worked tirelessly to bring a resolution to this search and recovery of the remains,” NPS said in a news release.
