An identification card belonging to Ricardo Muna Quitugua was recovered where human bones were found on Sunday near an abandoned house in Kagman III.
A family member said Quitugua, who is 71 or 72 years old, lived near the area where the human remains were found.
This developed as the administration issued today a press release, stating that authorities have confirmed that a set of human remains found in Kagman III on Sunday belongs to an elderly male about 70 years old or higher.
Elbert Quitugua told Saipan Tribune that the FBI confirmed to him that the remains were not his missing granddaughters Faloma and Maleina Luhk and that investigators recovered at the scene an ID of his uncle, Ricardo Muna Quitugua.
Elbert Quitugua said he checked the shack of his uncle located near the scene where the bones were found and that Ricardo was indeed not there.
Elbert Quitugua said their uncle was a loner, no family, and stayed in a shack.
He said the family believes that robbery could be the possible motive behind the death as his uncle has monthly pension money.
A cashier at CYC Kagman Market disclosed that they have a daily morning customer—an old man—who never showed up the past two weeks.
