(KAIR)--The skeletal remains of a body discovered earlier this year in a wooded area of Leavenworth County's City of Lansing, have been identified.
According to a release from the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, they, along with the Lansing Police Department, "have identified the human skeletal remains found February 18...as Derrick U. Collins" who "was reported missing from Leavenworth in June of 2022, when he was 59-years-old."
The release notes that no trauma was noted during the autopsy that helped lead investigators to Collins' identity, with no evidence at this time that foul play was involved in his death.
The final autopsy results are pending.
