12 years after a set of remains were found off a frontage road in Utah, DNA comparisons to a family member of a missing woman confirmed their suspicions of the identity of the remains. But, how she got there and who put her there remains unanswered. 

• This case originally was an unidentified found remains case known as “Saltair Sally”
• 1.5 miles east of a local concert hall named “The Great Saltair”. Duck hunters found “badly decomposed remains. A skull with rotting teeth and waist length hair, 26 bones, a purple beaded necklace ,and an oversized T-shirt  in the mud off of an I-80 frontage road in a field. 
• Based on the location of the body, Unified Police Lt. Justin Hoyal said it was likely a homicide. 
• Running theory is that she was killed along I-80 and or her body was dumped there. 
• Having traveled on I-80 I can say that this is very very likely. I don’t know how much I want to get in to, just incase family may listen, but my husband and I have taken advantage of how much… privacy you can find on that long boring highway through the salt flats. 
• In October 2012, “Saltair Sally” was given a name. Through DNA comparisons to a family member, it was found to be Nikole Bakoles. Only 20 years old and a mother of a young daughter at the time of her disappearance and death.
