The remains of Esther Dingley, a British woman who went missing while hiking alone in the Pyrenees mountains eight months ago, have been found, according to an international support group for missing person cases. The organization, LBT Global, announced the discovery in a statement on Friday, adding that Ms. Dingley’s identity was confirmed through DNA testing after a single bone had been found close to her last known location. An investigation remains ongoing, the group said, although it did not specify which authorities were involved. The organization said that there was still no sign of equipment or clothing in the immediate area where the bone was found, and that search and rescue teams would continue to scour the area by land and air. PGHM Luchon, the French mountain authority in the region, could not immediately be reached for comment.
