ROTHBURY, Mich. — Authorities are trying to identify human remains discovered near the site of an annual music festival in northern Michigan, the same area where a Detroit-area man disappeared while attending the event in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA positive identification of the remains cannot be made at this time pending autopsy results and further investigation,\u201d state police said on X.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Investigators were sent Monday to a wooded area near Rothbury in Oceana County, site of the popular Electric Forest music festival. Forensic anthropologists from Western Michigan University also joined the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n State police have not offered an update since Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kevin Graves, 28, was last seen at Electric Forest in 2018. After some tension with a girlfriend, he said he was returning to his tent, investigators said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Police at the time searched with dogs and dozens of volunteers, while divers checked area lakes. In 2023, a billboard with Graves’ picture<\/a> urged festival visitors to call police with any tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhatever it takes,\u201d his father, Gary Graves, said at the time. \u201cI don\u2019t care if I go broke. I\u2019m gonna keep trying my best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
