NOTGUILTY CO - Fremont Co., WhtMale, 17-30, pins from ankle surgery, Sept'16 - Remzi Nesfield ARREST

Gardener1850 · Jul 15, 2017

On Wednesday, Fremont County Coroner Randy Keller conducted a press conference to give limited details about the man who was found by a hiker in the west part of Fremont County on Sept. 28, 2016.

Keller said the skeletal remains found were positively identified to be human, and they were able to determine he was a white male and is 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 11 inches tall.

They've also narrowed down the man's age to be between the ages of 17 to 30 years old; although Keller thinks he would be in his early 20s.

Keller said they also were able to determine a surgical repair on the man's left ankle, where they found two pins still existing.

Keller also explained that facial reconstruction isn't completely accurate. He said the man's facial features are accurate, but facial area or hair on top of a person's head is inaccurate when a reconstruction is done.

The skeletal remains of a man found last fall in western Fremont County likely had been there for two to four years, or even longer, the county coroner said.

Fremont County coroner Randy Keller said a facial-reconstruction model was completed by a specialist in Denver in hopes of finding the next of kin for the man, described as a white male who was 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 11 inches tall and likely in his early 20s. Investigators found a surgical repair to the mans left ankle, where they found two pins still existing.

A positive DNA match came back that identified the remains as that of 23-year-old Remzi Nesfield.

Deputies aren’t sure how Nesfield died or how long ago he died.

Anyone with information about Nesfield is asked to call detectives at 719-276-5555.

He had a criminal record.

Charges from 2006 in Colorado appear to all be drug related: https://www.courtrecords.org/people/REMZI+NESFIELD+CO/

Charges in Arizona from 2001-2004 range from speeding to selling MJ: https://www.courtrecords.org/people/Remzi+Nesfield+AZ/

Arizona man arrested in Fremont Co. cold case
Pretty much same info...
Looks like he is fighting extradition. So, they are probably awaiting a Governor's rendition warrant to get him to Colorado.

Cold case homicide suspect restored to competency

Fremont County District Court Judge Ramsey Lama said Monday an updated evaluation ruled Smith is now competent, which means he is capable of assisting his attorney with his defense. However, Public Defender Jason Kosloski argued the evaluation was not sufficient and should be done again because testing and imaging should have been conducted to determine if a potential brain injury affects Smith’s competency.

Lama said he did not find the evaluation was insufficient. Kosloski then requested a second evaluation for Smith to be conducted by an independent evaluator.

Lama granted that request.
