Remains of missing Wisconsin woman found 9 years after she was last spotted running from car into woods

The remains of a Wisconsin woman missing since 2016 were located in a wooded area where she was last seen running, police said.

Shannah Boiteau left her home in Chippewa Falls on June 21, 2016, and was seen the following day running from her vehicle into the woods near County Road 74 in St. Cloud, Minnesota.

“Boiteau was witnessed exiting a vehicle near I94 & Co Rd 74 in Saint Cloud, MN, and ran into the woods and was never heard from again,” police said.

This week, police in St. Cloud were notified that a man walking in the area spotted a “moist spot in the lower ground” and found a human skull and teeth.

Police retrieved the remains and confirmed Boiteau’s identity. They said the remains had been “outside in the elements for a number of years.”
