Human remains found in remote woods in the United States are confirmed to be those of John Gillies, a man from Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire, Scotland, who disappeared nearly six years ago. The Daily Record and other outlets report that Gillies, 63 at the time of his disappearance, would have been 69 this year. The Independent and the Evening Standard say the remains were located by forest workers near the Sweetwater Gap area of Wyoming. The discoveries were reported after bones were recovered from the mountainside/wooded area, and subsequent identification links the remains to Gillies. The Evening Standard adds that arrangements are being made for the remains to be returned to Scotland. All sources describe the case as one involving a Scottish missing person whose identity is now confirmed following the recovery of remains in Wyoming. No sources provide further details on the circumstances of his disappearance or the investigative findings beyond the confirmation and planned repatriation.
