from Eyewitness News Online Skull found at W.Va. construction site July 03, 2009 1:37 PM CHARLES TOWN, W.Va.
Authorities are trying to determine the identity of a human skull found at a construction site for a new elementary school in Jefferson County. Jefferson County Sheriff Bobby Shirley says the skull was found Thursday as crews worked in an area where a drainage pipe was being installed near Charles Town. Police halted work in the area and Shirley says a search will be conducted for possible additional remains. The property had been an empty field before excavation work began. Shirley says the site is being handled as a crime scene and police plan to consult registries of missing persons. An anthropologist from Quantico, Va., has been called in to help with the investigation. Information from: The Journal, http://journal-news.net/ |
