(Hill City, SD) — The Pennington County Sheriff’s Office and Rapid City Police are working together to identify human remains discovered near Hill City. According to PCSO Captain Taylor Sperle, an autopsy was able to determine that the remains were of an adult. But it’s still unclear if they were male or female. Authorities say a hiker came across a badly decomposed body close to the Pennington and Custer county line on Tuesday. That person reported it to the sheriff’s office and deputies were sent out to the area. Investigators say there was nothing found that could immediately identify the body. The western South Dakota agencies are now currently working through local, state and federal resources on missing person cases to see if there is anything they can find to match the identity.
