SKELETAL BODY FOUND AT ST. MARYS - Fayette Hunter Discovers Another Remains

(10/27/2003)
Police are trying to determine the identity and cause of death of a body found under Carpenter Bridge in St. Marys.

The badly decomposed remains were found Saturday and sent to the State Medical Examiners Office. The case is being treated as a homicide.

The remains were described as "skeletal."

Fayette County authorities are also investigating the discovery of human remains.

Sheriff Bill Laird says a hunter found a decomposed body on a hillside above US Route 60.

The sheriff said it's too early to tell if the remains are male or female.
