Identification of Tyson Schrade's Remains pending Coroner's Report

I am searching daily for any new in the investigation of my friend Tyson Schrade whose remains were discovered several days ago.  I spoke to the Sheriff's Department two days ago regarding the identification of Tyson's remains. The sheriff referred me to two Detectives from the Oregon State Police Department who are now working this case. I phoned the number Sheriff Brandon Smith and spoke to one of the Detectives. The only information he was able to give me was that they are 90 percent sure it is Tyson Schrade whose remains were discovered. Any further information will be released after the Coroner issues his report to give a positive ID.

This is the latest report released today. 
Police tentatively identify skeletal remains found in Ochoco National Forest

The Associated Press and East Oregonian

The Oregon State Police and the Wheeler County Sheriff's Office are investigating the skeletal remains of a man that hunters discovered Monday morning in the Ochoco National Forest.

OSP investigators tentatively identified the body as Tyson Glenn Schrade, believed to be from the Salem area, from a wallet found nearby. The hunters discovered the remains in the area of U.S. Forest Service Road 2630 near Indian Prairie Campground, a densely wooded area near Mitchell.

Schrade was reported missing to the Wheeler County Sheriff's Office about 13 months ago. He was 27 years old when he went missing and reportedly was camping in the area as part of a Rainbow Family gathering. A local rancher saw Schrade walking in the area before he was reported missing.

The OSP will send Schrade's remains to the Oregon State Medical Examiner's Office for further analysis.

This information was released five days ago so there is no updated news.

In prayer and sorrow for losses suffered by Tyson's family and friends. May the Lord bless them all with peace.
