MONTICELLO, Utah — A cowboy discovered pipe bombs and human remains that could belong to a man suspected of killing a Colorado police officer in 1998, the San Juan County sheriff said.

DNA tests will determine if they are the bones of Jason McVean, who was the target of an intense manhunt, the Deseret Morning News and Salt Lake Tribune reported on their Web sites today.

"I always believed he was dead someplace, and I didn't think he was that far away from where this started," Sheriff Mike Lacy told the Morning News.

McVean, 26 at the time, and two other men, Alan Pilon, 30, and Robert Mason, 26, were in a stolen water truck when they were pulled over by Cortez Officer Dale Claxton, authorities said.

Claxton was shot 29 times, and the trio fled over the border into Utah in the Four Corners area of Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico.
