Human remains found confirmed to be James 'Bo' Galloway, case officially closed
SHERIDAN (WNE) — Human remains that were found at the Sheridan County Airport Jan. 5 have been confirmed as James ‘Bo’ Galloway.
According to the Sheridan County Coroner's Office, the human remains found have been identified and confirmed by scientific analysis. A thorough scientific investigation concluded there was no suspected foul play and confirmed the identity of the deceased by forensic specialties.
Sheridan County Deputy Coroner Melissa Reimers confirmed x-rays were conducted to prove there was no trauma to Galloway.
At this time, the Sheridan County Coroner’s Office has determined this case closed due to scientific findings.
An autopsy and toxicology report was not conducted due to the condition in which the body was found (skeletal remains). Cause and time of death will remain undetermined due to the same fact, Reimers said.
“We did do search warrants for phone data and social media accounts associated with Mr. Galloway. There's nothing that we found within those search warrants that led us to believe there was any foul play,” Sanders said.
Additionally, investigators have no new leads in the case, Sanders said.
On May 5, 2025, Galloway was reported missing to the Sheridan Police Department by family members. At the time, Galloway had been living at a residence in Sheridan that bordered several large parcels of land outside the city limits of Sheridan and within SCSO jurisdiction.
On May 28, 2025, the SCSO, with the assistance of Wyoming DCI, opened an investigation to look into Galloway’s disappearance as it related to area(s) outside of SPD jurisdiction.
On June 6 and 7, 2025, five specialized K-9 teams and several Sheridan Area Search and Rescue members were brought in to assist in the search efforts for Galloway.
The searchers conducted a grid search of the Sheridan County Airport property, which spanned approximately 600 acres in size.
