Human remains found identified as Rachel Audrey Sloan

On 05-16-2013 at 12:23 PM, the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office was notified of some possible human remains that were located burned in a secluded area on Highway 162 north of Willits, California.

The remains were located and later examined by a forensic anthropologist and were determined to be that of a human.  DNA samples were recovered and a profile was uploaded into the California Department of Justice and National Missing and Unidentified Persons System.

Approximately two years later, in May 2015, family members of Rachel Audrey Sloan (25 year-old female from Laytonville, California) reported her as a missing person.  Familial DNA samples were obtained from Sloan's family members and compared to the DNA profile from the found remains.

On 09-01-2015, the Mendocino County Sheriff's received a DNA report from the California Department of Justice identifying the found remains as that of Rachel Audrey Sloan.

Sloan was last seen by her family in Laytonville, California in August 2012.
