MORRISON, Wis. (AP) _ The discovery of skeletal remains in southern Brown County has raised hopes of one family that a 10-year-old mystery may finally be solved.

Nineteen-year-old Amber Wilde was four months pregnant and a pre-med student at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay when she vanished. Her car was found a week later, but there haven't been any other clues to what happened to her.

Jane Wilde is Amber's grandmother. She says when she heard the remains were found, she picked up Amber's picture and said, 'Is that you out there?'''

But she knows there's another Fox Valley woman whose family has dealt even longer with a disappearance. Twenty-one-year-old Laurie Depies of Appleton vanished 16 years ago.

The skeleton was found by hunters in a swampy area in the Brown County town of Morrison.

A forensic anthropologist will examine the remains next week.

The same anthropologist is examining a woman's remains that hunters found last weekend partially submerged in a frozen creek in the Fond du Lac County town of Ashford.
