GRANGEVILLE, Idaho — Authorities say they've identified human remains as those of an Idaho man who went missing while backpacking a decade ago.
The Idaho County coroner said Friday that the remains of Todd William Hofflander were identified using DNA analysis. Authorities say the 39-year-old Hofflander was last seen in late September of 2010 while backpacking with a friend.
A hunter found the remains in April 2020 in the Bernard Creek area in west-central Idaho west of Riggins.
The Lewiston Tribune reports that the hunter took a camera found with the remains and turned it over to authorities. It contained photos of Hofflander.
