SANTA FE 鈥� New Mexico State Police said that human remains found near Caja del Rio Road earlier this week are those of Joel "Deano" Valdez, a 36-year-old Marine veteran and journeyman lineman missing since September.

Police confirmed in a Thursday news release that a person walking their dog Sunday on the western side of Santa Fe discovered the body and reported it to law enforcement. Santa Fe County Sheriff鈥檚 deputies responded to the call, according to police.

The New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator positively identified the remains as Valdez. State Police had been investigating the man鈥檚 disappearance since the fall.

鈥淭he cause and manner of death have not yet been determined,鈥� State Police said in the release. 鈥淭he remains will undergo further anthropological examination by OMI.鈥�

The family raised a $7,000 reward for information leading to Valdez鈥檚 whereabouts with help from the national nonprofit Angels鈥� Voices Silenced No More and have

鈥淲e confirm that the remains of Joel 鈥楧eano鈥� Valdez have been located,鈥� Monique Garcia, Valdez鈥檚 cousin, posted Thursday night. 鈥淲hile this development marks a profoundly difficult moment for the family, it brings a measure of closure to a long and painful period of uncertainty that began last September, when he disappeared.鈥�

The family had said in December they no longer believed Valdez to be alive. They suspect he died as the result of foul play.

While investigators haven鈥檛 determined the exact circumstances of Valdez鈥檚 death, police reports released to the Journal last year classified his disappearance as 鈥渟uspicious鈥� and suggested individuals may have hidden Valdez鈥檚 body after he died from a drug overdose.

Valdez鈥檚 wife, Vikki Valdez, with whom the veteran had three small children, reported Valdez missing on Sept. 21 when he didn鈥檛 return to his home in Coyote after completing a job in Silver City on Sept. 18.

Before he went missing, the veteran is thought to have purchased gas at the Allsup鈥檚 on Cerrillos Road in Santa Fe around 5:30 p.m. Sept. 18 and made a Wells Fargo ATM cash withdrawal, which the family said was unusual for him.

But in the days after Valdez stopped answering his phone, several other transactions aroused greater suspicion.

The veteran鈥檚 credit card statement showed purchases for large quantities of gas, as well financial activity at a car wash and inside a Walmart, where investigators reviewed surveillance footage showing suspicious individuals believed to have used Valdez鈥檚 credit card.

Valdez was known to drive a white 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500, which is equipped with OnStar, a subscription-based service used to track lost or stolen vehicles.

Around noon on Sept. 19, the day before Valdez was reported missing, a police report states that Santa Fe Regional Emergency Communications Center received several phone calls reporting a white truck with a license plate matching Valdez鈥檚 on Harrison Road, near Agape House homeless shelter.

Callers said people were breaking into the truck, with one person outside the truck appearing to be in distress and someone inside the vehicle yelling for help. Three unidentified individuals arrived in a dark SUV with temporary tags, broke a window on the white truck and drove away, the callers said.

The police reports state that law enforcement didn鈥檛 respond to the call until 鈥渉ours later.鈥�

Officers have traced Valdez鈥檚 truck during the investigation using license plate readers, with recordings on I-25 and at Central and Pennsylvania in Albuquerque, according to the police reports.

On Nov. 4, police interviewed a witness who said she and an unidentified male hid Valdez鈥檚 body after he died of an overdose in September.

The witness claimed she and the other individual sold Valdez cocaine, and that she gave Valdez two doses of Narcan and performed CPR on him unsuccessfully after the 36-year-old became unresponsive.

With her attorney on the phone, she took police to an unspecified remote area on the west side of Santa Fe, where she said she and other individuals had left Valdez鈥檚 body under some trees, but the body was not there when they arrived.

Another witness gave another version of events in a separate interview, suggesting that a woman had deliberately provided Valdez with a fatal dose of fentanyl in lieu of cocaine, killing him before taking his credit cards and selling his other belongings.

The Valdez family has disputed the witness accounts published from the police reports, and State Police have emphasized the investigation remains open. Investigators confirmed that no arrests have been been made related to Valdez鈥檚 death.

The family organized searches for Valdez nearly every weekend following his disappearance, more than once using drones and off-road vehicles to scan the outskirts of Santa Fe, the general area where Valdez was ultimately found.

State Police expressed 鈥渄eepest condolences to the Valdez family during this difficult time.鈥�

Anyone with information related to the case is asked to call 505-841-9256.
