The human remains found this month north of West Point have been identified by authorities.
Lee County Sheriff Stacy Weber has confirmed that the remains near 110th Street off of X23 in northern Lee County are 54-year-old West Point resident Darren Bunnell.
Bunnell has been missing since June 14, and was the subject of several searches by West Point police, the Lee County Sheriff’s office and other emergency agencies. The Iowa Department of Criminal Investigations has also been involved with the search.
Officials said they do not believe there was foul play associated with the incident.
