The identity of the remains is unknown.

Investigators are currently searching the area with help from RCMP major crime services, forensic identification services, police dog services, search and rescue, and a forensic anthropology team, the release said.

The RM of Grahamdale is on the east side of Lake Manitoba, about 200kilometres northwest of Winnipeg.
