Elizabeth Elena Laguna-Salgado’s family searches for closure where the woman’s body was discovered and finds more bones in the remote patch of Utah wilderness

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.

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.

As they searched for Laguna-Salgado, some family members were frustrated with how police have handled the case. On Wednesday, Salgado told FOX 13’s Taylor Hartman that authorities haven’t investigated a person the family thinks may have been involved in Laguna-Salgado’s disappearance.
