Bones found in south Todd County confirmed to be human

Kentucky State Police have confirmed partial skeletal remains found in a wooded area near Big Pond Road in southern Todd County Wednesday morning are human.

Trooper Brandon McPherson says a forensic anthropologist was at the site Friday assisting in the investigation and there has not been any identification of the person or determination on cause of death.

He says the bones were discovered by a man who said he was searching for mushrooms in the area. He called Todd County Dispatch and Kentucky State Police was eventually contacted to investigate.
