“We have taken possession of the remains and will submit them to our forensic anthropologist for more potential information,” the statement said.

“Based on our limited information, it is believed the remains have been concealed for a long period of time. We will follow up after the exam with law enforcement to determine other aspects of the investigation.”

Clevenger said it could be months before they are able to obtain the results from the forensic anthropology department.
