Rescuers find remains believed to be missing boy%)
Fort Collins, Colorado-AP -- Remains have been found that are thought to be those of a three-year-old boy who disappeared while hiking in Colorado in 1999. The remains were found near a hiking trail where Jaryd Atadero's tattered clothing was discovered earlier this month.
Officials say the boy may have been dragged up a hillside by a mountain lion.
Jaryd's father says part of a skull and a molar have been found. He says now he can "look up to the heavens and be excited" that his son is there, instead of looking up and wondering where he is.
Jaryd had been running ahead of the adults he was hiking with so he could find hiding places and then yell "Boo!"
