Some of the bones found two days ago in rural Cass County have been identified as those of missing Raymore woman Jessica Runions.

Kansas City Police notified the Runions family Wednesday evening, according to a release from the Cass County Sheriff’s Office. Runions, 21, was last seen on Sept. 8.

Forensic specialists were called in after a mushroom hunter found human bones Monday afternoon near a quarry in rural Cass County. One skull was found the first day of the search and a second the day after.

I think he means the other remains/skull has not been identified.

CASS COUNTY, Mo. -- For nine long and grueling hours, more than 100 investigators from the Kansas City Police Department, the Cass County Sheriff's Office, the FBI and several other metro area law enforcement agencies searched a thick, muddy wooded area on Thursday.

"The FBI's crime scene team is first going to grid the area into squares to make it easier for the searchers to see. We have a rather long area that is very difficult to see," said Captain Kevin Tieman with the Cass County Sheriff's Office.

High in the air with a drone, on the ground, crawling around on their hands and knees, and shoulder to shoulder in the snake-infested woods, the searchers scoured almost three acres of rugged terrain near East 233rd and Y Highway Thursday afternoon.

Their mission?

Find anything that could lead them to the person who killed 21-year-old Jessica Runions who had been missing for seven months before investigators confirmed Wednesday a skull, a mushroom hunter found earlier this week, belonged to the missing woman.

The searchers also carefully examined "anything human-related," said Cpt. Kevin Tieman.

"We want to find anything that we think could help solve Runions' murder mystery or help identify a second set of human remains found at the same site this week," added Cpt. Tieman.

"We would've loved to have found her alive and well, but unfortunately, that's not the case. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Runions family," said Captain Stacey Graves with the KCPD.

For hours, the searchers tackled the tough terrain and put down bright, orange, miniature flags, marking off anything they thought could be "evidence" in connection with both crimes.

By late afternoon as the search began to wind down, Cpt. Tieman updated then news media.

"We did identify several pieces of evidence. I'm not ready to tell you if they're human remains or something else, but we are recovering evidence and things that we believe will help us possibly identify the second person and help with the ongoing homicide investigation," Cpt. Tieman said.

Meanwhile, investigators desperately want to know whether the second set of human bones belonged to Kara Kopetsky, who has been missing for 10 years now.

"Investigators are working tirelessly to identify those second bones, " said Captain Stacey Graves.

On Friday a specialized team of crime scene technicians and investigators "who specialize in the recovery of human remains will be back at the Cass County site at 8:30 in the morning," said Cpt. Tieman.

This is from last week.

Yes, that's what I meant to say.

I looked for the latest news on Kylr Yust, and he's sitting in a Jackson County jail waiting trial for the burning of Jessica Runions car. I imagine that trial will get postponed as long as legally possible as they search for evidence against him in these two cases.

And here is an older story of Yust's connection to both the girls...

Condolences to the families...

Hopefully this means Yust goes 'bye, bye' for life.....

At least now her family can finally have closure.

Several years ago I used to work at the same place as Kara Kopetsky's mom, but on a different shift. Didn't really talk to her much, but she seemed nice. Every time I would walk by her, I would feel sad knowing her daughter was missing. At least now they can finally give her a proper burial.

Al Bundy · 08-16-2017, 06:19 PM

Very sad ending to this. Hopefully Kara's parents are able to gain a slim amount of closure with this.

Why Not? · 08-16-2017, 06:29 PM

What happened was awful. I'm guessing the family had accepted this fate. Now they can have closure and bury her properly. I hope that scumbag rots forever in a cage.

There really is no closure with the death of your child. Especially this way. I have great empathy for them. It's the worst possible situation. It really is. I want to kill this guy.
