Homicide detectives work to ID remains found outside Molalla KATU Staff UP NEXT MOLALLA, Ore. – Homicide detectives released new photos that could help them identify the human remains found earlier this month in a remote area outside Molalla. A Weyerhauser crew found the remains on January 8 while planting trees in a wilderness area southeast of Molalla, the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office said. Authorities say the death is being investigated as a homicide. Initial reports state that the remains were in the area before the wildfires swept through the area last September. Investigators recovered a size 9.5 white, low-top canvas athletic shoe, and a dark gray metal ring that has a square red stone.
