KEENESBURG, Colo. -- The search for Kenia Monge appears to be over Thursday.
Human remains located along Interstate 76 in Keenesburg, Colo. on Wednesday are believed to be those of the missing Aurora teenager, the Denver District Attorney’s Office said.
Keenesburg is roughly 40 miles northeast of Denver.
A source says the self-proclaimed "suspect" in her disappearance, Travis Forbes, led investigators to where her remains were located.
“A positive identification and cause of death is still pending and will be released with the results of the coroner’s report,” Denver Police and the DA’s office said in a joint news release.
Officials said the search for Monge resumed Wednesday based on “new information” that led Denver homicide detectives and the DA’s Office to an area in south Weld County near I-76 and Weld County Road 53.
Investigators were seen digging a hole in field just footsteps from the interstate.
“With great, great sadness I have to report to you that Denver Police has called me and they believe they have found Kenia,” Monge’s stepfather, Tony Lee, posted on a Facebook page dedicated to the search for Kenia earlier in the afternoon. “They are telling me she has passed.”
