Bismarck Police said the remains of a man who went missing five years ago were found along the Missouri River near McLean Bottoms on July 17.
Christopher Mann, 26, of Bismarck, was last heard from by his family on Feb. 16, 2011, police said. He was extremely depressed and was last seen walking in southwest Bismarck. He was known to frequent the river area.
Detectives searched along the Missouri River and Memorial Bridge at the time, according to news reports from 2011. Divers from the Burleigh County Sheriff's Department also checked an area near Sertoma Park, Maj. Kelly Leben said.
The remains were first reported to the Morton County Sheriff's Department and then turned over to the Burleigh County Sheriff's Department, who asked local agencies with missing persons reports to help identify them, police said.
The North Dakota Office of the Medical Examiner confirmed the match through dental records, said Bismarck Police Sgt. Mark Buschena.
State Medical Examiner Dr. William Massello said he would not be able to determine a cause of death, because of the intervening years.
Buschena said the death is not considered suspicious.
