Remains found in search for missing hiker who vanished six years ago

Human remains of a keen hiker have been discovered six years after he vanished on the Brecon Beacons.

Jordan Moray was 33 when he disappeared from his home in July 2019 leaving his heartbroken parents to retrace his steps for years.

Human remains were discovered by another hiker close to the isolated region of Llwyn On Reservoir on Friday August 29.

Forensic testing confirmed that these remains were Jordan’s last seen leaving his home ten miles away in the village of Cwmbach, Aberdare.

His heartbroken brother Josh claimed another walker had stumbled across the body.

He said on Facebook: ‘A walker came across human remains in Brecon last week. A postmortem was done and it came back to be my brother Jordan.

‘I’ve missed him ever since he went missing. He wasn’t just my brother he was my best friend. We did everything together and I mean everything. He’s been a big loss in my life and always will be.

‘Now my mam and dad can lay him to rest.’

He added: ‘Love you Jordan Moray can’t wait to meet you again big bro my heart is lost without you.’

His mother Debbie previously told WalesOnline that she still searched for him for hours.

‘He’s pretty quiet really and loves the outdoor life. He would phone me and ask me to pick up a couple of disposable barbeques and a steak. He’d meet me and he’d go up the mountain and eat it up there, for hours and hours.

‘The police had the forensics team inside his flat but I think he’s gone of his own accord. His rucksack’s missing, his headlamp has gone, along with his trainers – we’re heartbroken.’

The former boxer vanished leaving his front door unlocked, a games console left running and mobile on charge.

South Wales Police spokesman said: ‘The Coroner has been updated and his death is not being treated as suspicious.

‘Jordan’s next of kin has been informed and his family have respectfully asked for privacy at this difficult time.’
