EL PASO COUNTY — In October 2020, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office found an unidentified human skull in the Rampart Range area near Forest Service Roads 300 and 315.

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System says that the skull was found by a bow hunter who was hunting in the area at the time.

According to the El Paso County Coroner's Office, the man had been dead for five or more years before his discovery in 2020. They estimate that he died sometime between 2010-2015.
