Police Chief’s dog brings home human skull The Gazette-Tribune
TWISP – Twisp Police Chief Paul Budrow received a strange call from his family last Monday, their dog had just brought home a human skull. Chief Budrow, who lives approximately four miles south of Twisp on Hwy 153, responded to the call along with Chief Criminal Deputy Dave Rodriguez and Deputy Andre Loranc from the Okanogan County Sheriff’s Office. What they found was the dog had indeed brought home a human skull. “The three then began to search the area along the river and after approximately four hours discovered the rest of the remains of the subject. The remains were located approximately four miles south of Twisp and approximately 100 yards in from the Methow River,” said Sheriff Frank Rogers. From the evidence found at the scene law enforcement believes the remains are that of Nicholas A. Tortora, 21 of Twisp. Tortora was reported missing by his family on June 3, 2012 and they stated the young man was despondent when he left the residence and the family wasn’t sure where he had gone or what he was going to do, according to Rogers. They also believed that Tortora may
have gone back to New Mexico, where had been living. “At the time deputies and searchers were not sure where Tortora had gone but a cell phone ping came up showing that he was in the Twisp area. The cell phone ping showed he may be near Look Out Mountain which was approximately five miles northwest of where the remains were located yesterday. Several searchers searched for days but with no clear area to search at the time, the search was called off,” said Rogers. Over the next month several areas were checked but nothing was ever found on Tortora and on June 29, 2012 searchers tried another cell phone check and found that it was not working. At that time the search for Tortora was ended and he was listed as a missing person. “It is believed that the remains found yesterday are those of Tortora. The remains were located approximately half a mile south of his residence in a heavily wooded area. Nothing at the scene or what we know now indicates any foul play in this case,” said Rogers. The family was notified on Tuesday and the remains will be sent off for positive identification.
