ST. CLAIR, Mo. (AP) — Authorities have determined that human remains found in March in Missouri are those of a woman who was reported missing 10 years ago.

The remains of 64-year-old Margaret Unger were found March 22 in St. Clair, near her home. She had been missing since April 19, 2010.

The FBI said Unger's husband reported her missing. He told authorities at the time that he watched her walk away from the house and into the woods. He said he tried to follow her but lost her.

Unger's husband said she had a history of mental illness and had not been taking her medicine.
