SALT LAKE CITY — Human remains were found inside a vehicle submerged in Lake Powell Tuesday. Authorities believe they may belong to a man who’s been missing from Arizona since 2023.
In a Facebook post , the Kane County Utah Sheriff’s Office said people recreating on Lone Rock Beach in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area saw a vehicle just below the visible water line.
National Park Service personnel were able to identify the vehicle using the VIN number on its dashboard. The post states that records show the vehicle belonged to 54-year-old Dennis Keith Dillinger, who has been missing from Page, Arizona, since Dec. 1, 2023.
When the vehicle was removed from Lake Powell, human remains were found inside. They have been sent to the Utah State Medical Examiner’s Office to be identified
