Muskogee investigators found a weapon, ammunition and a bone in a rural area just southwest of Muskogee. The medical examiner is testing the bone right now to determine whether it is human or animal.

Investigators think the discovery could be linked to the case of Jamie McCurrin, who's been missing since 1997......CONTINUED....

Muskogee officials continue search for missing girl
,












ASSOCIATED PRESS

MUSKOGEE, Okla. Muskogee County law enforcement officers continued their search today of a pond near Summit for the remains of a Muskogee teenager missing since 1997.

Officers and county workers today used a pump to drain water from part of the swamp pond.

About 15 officers walked through the horseshoe-shaped pond looking for clues in the disappearance of Jamie Michelle McChurin.

McChurin was 16 at the time of her disappearance. She was last seen March 18th, 1997, sitting on the porch of a friend's house talking to her friend's mother. She had just finished work at the Muskogee Tastee-Freez.

The pump was used to drain an area where an assault rifle was found.

Cadaver dogs made several hits Thursday and Friday as they fanned out over the pond. Recovered from the mud bottom were a 10-inch bone, the rifle, a magazine clip and eight shells.......snip

The search for clues into the disappearance of a Muskogee girl missing since 1997 continues this week, but the discovery of a bone Thursday at nearly empty farm pond near Summit turned out to be of no help.
