MANKATO, Minn. (AP) — More bones and the wallet of a man last seen in Mankato last year have been recovered during another search for his remains.

Blue Earth sheriff’s investigators say the death of 26-year-old Matthew Albrecht remains under investigation. Other bones and items belonging to Albrecht were found during a previous search, which resulted in confirmation of his death.

The Mapleton man was last seen April 2010 by his father and a friend. They were working on fixing a vehicle in Mankato. The Free Press says (http://bit.ly/lYZfty) Albrecht’s family has scheduled a memorial service Thursday at Mankato Mortuary.
