MISSOULA - Authorities say human remains discovered in the Clark Fork River in Missoula over the weekend are those of a transient man who was last seen in March 2008.

Missoula County Sheriff's Capt. Greg Hintz says the skeletal remains of 59-year-old Jesus Garza had probably been in the water for a year and a half until a man walking his dog found them washed up in a log jam Sunday.

Hintz says Garza was never reported missing, but last had contact with law enforcement two years ago.

The man's family in Washington state has been notified of the death.
