Authorities in Connecticut have identified human remains that were found buried in a wetlands area last week — and have deemed the death suspicious.
The remains were identified positively as those of 56-year-old Elizabeth Rykhof, the Bloomfield Police Department announced in a press release Monday.
Rykhof, who family members said suffered from addiction and bipolar disorder, was reported missing on Sept. 22, 2017, after her family hadn't heard from her for a month, police said.

Bloomfield Police asks that anyone with information contact the department at 860-242-5501.
