Human skeletal remains recently discovered in the woods in Jackson County, Florida might be linked to a missing person case, although investigators have not disclosed which case.
Officials from the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office said a person clearing a wooded portion of property on Wednesday discovered human skeletal remains, after which deputies arrived on scene and summoned assistance from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s Crime Lab and the State Medical Examiner’s Office.
During a continued search of the property, investigators found additional items of evidentiary value concealed by the earth and additional skeletal remains scattered through the woods.
‘The identity of the decedent is currently unknown’, the Sheriff’s Office official said.
‘Missing persons cases have led investigators to a potential identity; however, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office will work diligently with the Medical Examiner’s Office and (FDLE) to accurately identify the decedent before prematurely releasing any names’.
