About 20 family members and friends on Friday trekked to the remote thicket in Hobble Creek Canyon where Elizabeth Elena Laguna-Salgado’s body was found, seeking peace and spiritual guidance. In the loose soil, they discovered more small bones — likely the young woman’s — that hadn’t been gathered by investigators.
The medical examiner will make the final call, but Utah County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Spencer Cannon said the remains appear to be Laguna-Salgado’s. When asked about that experience, Laguna-Salgado’s uncle Rosemberg Salgado declined to comment.
Cannon said that investigators thoroughly scoured the area for remains, but that he’s not surprised some of the smaller bones stayed hidden at the scene.
