CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. (WJMC) — A Chippewa Falls woman missing for nearly nine years has been found dead.
Chippewa Falls police said then-22-year-old Shannah Boiteau went missing June 22, 2016. The national database for missing persons, NamUs, said Boiteau and her boyfriend were driving to California when she ran away from the vehicle near St. Cloud, Minnesota. Foul play was not suspected at that time.
St. Cloud Police said human bones were found Saturday in the area where Boiteau was last seen in 2016. The remains were confirmed this week to be Boiteau, and the Chippewa Falls Police Department and the woman’s family were notified.
St. Cloud Police are conducting the investigation.
