The Uintah County Sheriff’s Office reported the recovery of a deceased person near Skinwalker Ranch around February 29.
Chief Deputy Brian Fletcher confirmed the finding, saying, “Our agency has located a deceased individual south of Fort Duchesne; However, the circumstances are not suspicious and no further information will be released out of respect for the family,” said an email to Expand border research on March 4.
Expanding Frontiers Research received information indicating the body may have been found near 4500 East and 2800 South after an abandoned motorcycle was reported to the sheriff’s office several months earlier. The discovery of the motorcycle was reported on November 24, 2023.
According to an insider familiar with the incident, the deceased person may have been in the area due to an interest in the alleged paranormal phenomena associated with Skinwalker Ranch. When asked about this possibility, Deputy Chief Fletcher declined to provide further details.
A formal request was filed Friday with the Uintah County Sheriff’s Office under the Utah Government Records Access and Management Act, requesting all incident reports and associated documentation related to the scenes and conditions.
