EL PASO COUNTY, COLO. -- El Paso County Sheriff's deputies have identified a body found in the Black Forest area Sunday.

Deputies said they were able to identify the decomposed body from its teeth, matching it to 30-year-old Jamie Essig's dental records. 

Essig, a Fountain resident, was reported missing April 14. Officials made the positive identification Wednesday - exactly five months later.
