The Gunnison County Coroner\u2019s Office tells a Colorado Springs TV station that those victims had been Springs residents, 42 and 41 year old sisters Rebecca and Christine Vance, and Rebecca\u2019s 14-year-old son, whose name isn\u2019t being released. A hiker came across their remains on the 10th<\/sup> of this month, near the Gold Creek Campground northeast of Gunnison, and the 3 had appeared to have been dead for what was called a \u201csubstantial\u201d amount of time. The Coroner\u2019s office now says it seems the trio had begun camping there in July of last year, and were set up for \u201clong-term living.\u201d It\u2019s speculated they may have survived until harsh winter weather arrived. Family members have told Coroner Michael Barnes the 3 had set out last summer, planning to \u201clive off the grid.\u201d The coroner\u2019s initial finding says winter exposure and malnutrition are the suspected causes of death for all 3, but the exact causes may not be determined for some time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Those badly decomposed human remains discovered earlier this month at a remote Gunnison County campsite have now been identified\u2026 (Gunnison Remains Identified\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 :45) The Gunnison County Coroner\u2019s Office tells a Colorado Springs TV station that those victims had been Springs residents, 42 and 41 year old sisters Rebecca and Christine Vance, and Rebecca\u2019s 14-year-old son, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-rnrnews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rockymountainnewsnetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rockymountainnewsnetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rockymountainnewsnetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rockymountainnewsnetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rockymountainnewsnetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=994"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/rockymountainnewsnetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/994\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":996,"href":"https:\/\/rockymountainnewsnetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/994\/revisions\/996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rockymountainnewsnetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rockymountainnewsnetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rockymountainnewsnetwork.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
