Officials have identified the skeletal remains found earlier this month near Concordia as those of a 17-year-old Salina girl who was last seen by her parents in August 2007.

The Cloud County Sheriff's Department says dental records were used to identify the remains as those of Nicole J. Hoard. The remains were found by deer hunters on Oct. 18 in woods near the Republican River. The area is not far from busy U.S. 81.

The Sheriff's Department is asking for anyone who had contact with Hoard during the summer of 2007 or since to contact it or the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.

The police were looking for Nicole, they knew she was gone. At least we know where she is and we have her back, we can lay her to rest. I hope she can find peace now.

Did the parents of the teen report her missing in 2007? This absolutely a very sad story. God rest her soul,now she is no longer lost.As a mother of a teen,I can not imagine not knowing where my child is for a year!!! This turns my stomach.
