WAYNE, Mich. (FOX 2) - Suspected human remains were unearthed by workers in the woods Thursday in Wayne.
The backstory:
The site is near Michigan Avenue and Newburgh across from a Ford plant where surveying crews made the discovery.
A human skull was found on the brush and is likely linked to remains found near the area back in March. The remains found in that case were missing a skull, which is why investigators are suspecting a link between the two.
Those remains have not been identified yet, which police said is typical because of the length of time required for proper testing.
The skull will be sent to the Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office for lab work.
"Once we have an idea of the biological profile - who does this match up with any missing persons reports then we will get information from a potential missing person do they have x-rays of their head or CT scan or detail x-rays then we will try and compare them point by point," said Forensic Anthropologist Dr. Carolyn Isaac.
