Lake County Sheriff’s Office Press release
On September 26, 2025, at about 1522 hours, Lake County 911 received a call from a fisherman who reported discovering human remains in Flathead Lake in the Wildhorse Island area. The calling party reported reeling in bones with clothing attached to them in an area southeast of Wildhorse Island. Investigators from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office responded and collected the human remains and clothing. These items will be sent to the Montana State Crime Lab for examination. The remains are skeletonized and appear to have been in the lake for some time. Further search of the area will be conducted in the coming week. At this time, the Sheriff’s Office is not speculating on who these remains belong to, and this is the extent of the information we will release at this time.
