Investigators believe the remains may be human due to trauma screws located in a lower extremity bone.
Detectives with the criminal investigations division assisted crime scene technicians to investigate the site where the remains were located in an effort to find additional remains or possible evidence, according to the sheriff’s office.
On Saturday, the sheriff sent members of the Texas Search and Rescue K9 Team to help search in and around the area where skeletal human remains were discovered. He said they were able to excavated and recovered what appears to be the complete skeletal remains of an adult male that would have been 6′0″ or taller in height.
The skeletal remains will be transported and delivered to the University of North Texas, Center For Human Identification’s Laboratory Of Forensic Anthropology in Denton.
