Human remains found in connection with search for Paul Duran (updated 1/15)

UPDATE 1/15/21 — Mendocino law enforcement and Search & Rescue discovered human remains this morning, in their search for Paul Duran, 58 of the Covelo area, who went missing from his property earlier this week. The body has not been confirmed to be Duran’s due to “the condition of the body,” as explained in a brief Facebook post announcement made by the MCSO.

The sheriff’s Coroner’s Division will now work towards positively identifying the body.
