A human adult skull was found Sunday evening on private property in Owen County. It was found 30 feet from the road in a wooded area near North Cataract Road, Owen County coroner Shelby Hershberger said.
Cadaver dogs did not find other remains Sunday and Monday.
Krista Latham, a forensic anthropologist and director of the University of Indianapolis Human Identification Center, has the skull to perform a biophysical profile. That will determine the skull’s age and race, Hershberger said. Then it will be sent to the Indiana State Police for DNA findings.
The investigation is ongoing.
