The badly decomposed body of Latoya Wyasket was found in 2017
OGDEN — Authorities have identified the body of a woman found by ranchers in September 2017 in a remote area of Ogden Bay, and now they’re asking for more information about the final weeks of her life.
With the assistance of the FBI, the remains were identified as 34-year-old Latoya Wyasket, who was homeless at the time of her death and was last known to be living in Ogden, according to a press release from the Weber County Sheriff’s Office.
Wyasket’s body was found Sept. 27, 2017, when a group of ranchers moving cattle came upon the badly decomposed body west of Hooper in a waterfoul management area, the release said.
“The body was in a very advanced stage of decomposition and investigating deputies were unable to identify whether the body was male or female,” the release said. “The (Utah) Office of the Medical Examiner responded to the scene and took possession of the body and no manner of death was able to be determined.”
Eventually investigators determined that the remains were female between the age of 28 and 48. Meanwhile, detectives “worked tirelessly to attempt to identify the female, scouring through records of missing females. Detectives were unable to identify the remains through this process.”
It wasn’t until investigators reached out to the FBI that the sheriff’s office was able to identify Wyasket’s remains. Now police are hoping to learn more about the last months of her life in the Ogden area. She was last known to frequent the area of 18th and Childs Avenue in Ogden, the release said.
Anyone who may have seen Wyasket in the spring of 2017 near that area is asked to contact the Weber County Investigations Bureau at 801-778-6631 and reference case #17WC30742.
Detectives continue to investigate how Wyasket died. The Weber County Sheriff’s Office expressed condolences to Wyasket’s family.
