Listening back on this interview with Deputy Cloud… He mentions the areas that were searched for Carmen Quintana… And I am so curious as to where her remains were found, and where they initially searched.

If not just for insight but to update procedure moving forward.

Join host Anne Ornie for another episode of Cold Coast, a show dedicated to finding – and identifying – the missing and unidentified persons of Tillamook, Pacific, and Clatsop Counties. Over a year after the disappearance of Tillamook County resident Carmen Quintana, officials are hoping for new...

Human Remains Identified as Missing Woman Maria Del Carmen Quintana

Tillamook County, OR – The Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that human remains discovered earlier this year have been positively identified as those of 59-year-old Maria Del Carmen Quintana, who was reported missing in 2018.

Maria was last seen on November 30, 2018, in the Nehalem/Highway 53 area of Tillamook County. Following her disappearance, her family, alongside members of the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue (SAR) Team, conducted extensive searches and exhausted all available efforts in trying to locate her.

On May 28, 2025, partial remains were discovered in a heavily wooded area not far from Maria’s home. TCSO Detectives immediately conducted a cursory search of the site, and search dogs were later deployed to assist. No additional remains or evidence were recovered. After careful examination, the remains were confirmed to be those of Maria Del Carmen Quintana.

“Our hearts are with Maria’s family as they receive this difficult news,” said Sheriff Joshua Brown. “We are grateful for the tireless efforts of our SAR volunteers, deputies, and community members who never stopped searching. While this may not bring the answers we had hoped for, we hope it provides some measure of closure.”

The Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office extends its deepest condolences to Maria’s family and friends.

New facial illustration released in Clatsop County cold case
Public assistance sought to identify remains

With the assistance of a new facial re-approximation from Parabon NanoLabs, a 25-year-old Oregon State Police (OSP) cold case is receiving new attention. Working closely with Oregon State Police Forensic Anthropologist Dr. Nici Vance, Parabon used the individual's genetic phenotype to create the latest illustration.

On Nov. 3, 1999, mushroom pickers reported the discovery of human skeletal remains in rural Clatsop County. The unidentified partial remains were located in a wooded area off Hwy. 26 near milepost 29. At the time, searchers located remains over a wide area, including a skull and lower jaw with all the teeth present.

A forensic examination of the skeletal remains indicated the deceased is female, 16-30 years of age, about 5 ft. 2 in. tall, and weighing between 108-117 pounds. Forensic anthropologists believe the individual had given birth some time prior.

Investigators also found white athletic socks, Levi's blue jeans size 33x34, a medium-sized black leather jacket, and a silver-colored "peace symbol" belt buckle in the same wooded area.

Investigators hope the new illustration will help renew interest in the case to determine the young woman's identity. “This new illustration created by Parabon NanoLabs may be the key to unlocking her identity; we hope someone may recognize her now. We also know her ancestry includes relatives from Western Europe, West Africa, and Central America, which are huge clues to her origins and family. Everyone deserves the dignity of a name; through our partnership with Parabon NanoLabs, we will continue to search for her family and ultimately identify her.”

Since 2019, Parabon and the Oregon State Police have partnered to identify more than 30 previously unidentified individuals in Oregon using Parabon’s groundbreaking technology and investigative genetic genealogy research.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Detective Derek Rose through OSP's Northern Command Center at 800-442-0776 or *OSP (*677) on a mobile phone. Please reference case number SP99433623.
