Human remains discovered last month in northern Maine have been identified as those of a woman missing since July, authorities said.
A local resident found the remains of 39-year-old Tomis Hoyt on October 30 in the town of Blaine, Maine, just south of Mars Hill, according to the Maine Office of Chief Medical Examiner. The office confirmed her identity on Wednesday.
Hoyt was last seen on July 13 on Robinson Road in Mars Hill. Her family told authorities she was believed to be barefoot and without any money at the time.
The circumstances that led to her disappearance and death remain under investigation by local law enforcement in Aroostook County, Maine. Authorities are asking anyone with information about her whereabouts or what she may have been doing in the days after she was last seen to come forward.
No further details were provided at this time.
