According to the Colorado Bureau of Investigations, all human remains have been removed from the Return to Nature Funeral Home.
The investigation started at the beginning of the month, #ImFromDenver reported that authorities were notified of improperly stored bodies. At first, it was 115 bodies, however recent discoveries reveal the body count is 200, and it could be higher.
“While the investigation for this incident continues, we also remain focused on the impacted families,” Fremont County Sheriff Allen Cooper said. “We want to do all we can to provide the families the support they need as we shift to the next phase in this process.”
Families who have not already done so are urged to fill out an FBI questionnaire to assist investigators.
“We are conducting extensive coordination efforts as we focus on the identification of the decedents and provide notifications to ensure the families are given accurate information to prevent further victimization as they continue to grieve their loved ones,” Fremont County Coroner Randy Keller said.
If you or your family have been impacted by the situation the CBI encourages you to send an email to penrosefuneralhome@fbi.gov or call 719-276-7421.
