Law enforcement responded to a call on March 19th regarding the discovery of a human skull and vertebrae in a wooded area near a residence on Cougar Road.
The incident report stated the remains were found uphill from a stream near Caney Creek.
A 2nd search of the property on March 26th conducted by law enforcement along with a K9 team from Jonesboro discovered additional bones.
