Cheyann Klus’ family confirmed the news on Facebook. In a statement, Mariah Klus wrote, "We have been looking for Cheyann, and information related to her disappearance, since she went missing over 5 years ago. While it was not the news we were hoping for, we have received confirmation from law enforcement that Cheyann’s remains were found."
