Hikers Discover Remains of Missing Washington Mother Hailey Athay, Confirmed by Forensic Analysis

The skeletal remains of Hailey Athay, a missing mother of three from Washington state, were discovered by hikers in a remote area of Kelso, Washington.

The discovery was made just north of the Oregon border, and due to the time of day, officials could not immediately access the site. The hikers were asked to photograph the bones, which were later confirmed as human by a forensic anthropologist. The following day, a search party led by one of the hikers recovered more bones, clothing, and personal items. The remains were confirmed to be Athay's through dental records.
