CSPD said officers responded to this report just after 8 a.m. on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. According to CSPD, they made several searches of the course that day, but no additional remains were located.

According to CSPD, analysis later revealed the bone was a human femur. They say DNA testing revealed a possible match to 55-year-old Donald Gillison.

According to CSPD, there has been no recorded contact with Gillison since 2016. Police say they are investigating, but at this time, there is no indication of foul play.
