Victor, NY Remains Identified; Storm Suspected

Human skeletal remains found near Mud Creek in Victor, New York, have been identified as those of 83-year-old Reggie Vardon, who was last seen on July 15, 2024. Authorities suspect Vardon, who often walked to run errands, was likely swept away by a storm that caused the creek to rise for several days. His remains, concealed by brush and trees, were not discovered during earlier searches but were later found by a passerby. The Monroe County Medical Examiner’s Office has yet to determine the exact cause of death, which may be difficult to establish. The Ontario County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate and will provide further updates. No new information has been released regarding the Victorville, California case.
