JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Medical Examiner's Office has positively identified human remains found in Clay County as those of missing Baker County woman Claire Luscombe.

Clay deputies say the remains were found last week in a wooded area with the assistance of K9 cadaver dogs.

The Clay County Sheriff’s Office says it began investigating this case and searching the area on Saturday, July 9, after receiving a 911 call from a citizen who was horseback riding in the wooded area and found an SUV.

That SUV was later determined to belong to Luscombe.

Multiple first responders from Clay County Fire Rescue, Clay County Emergency Management, Baker County Sheriff’s Office, Florida Highway Patrol, Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, Jacksonville Fire Rescue Department and more helped searched a wooded area off of Violet Way for Luscombe.

The remains were found in a wooded area near where Luscombe's SUV was found.
