The Missouri City Police Department has discovered skeletal remains while searching for missing woman Karen Miles, who was last heard from on August 21. The remains were located along Blue Ridge Road, with an autopsy planned to confirm their identity. Miles was reported missing after her family raised concerns when she failed to show up for work, and her vehicle was found being driven by another individual with stolen plates. In a separate incident, skeletal remains were also found in a mountain range in Phoenix, prompting an investigation by local authorities with the Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office working to identify the remains and determine the cause of death. Both cases highlight ongoing concerns regarding missing persons and unidentified remains, as investigators continue to seek leads and gather forensic evidence.
