Human remains were found scattered throughout a densely wooded area off Burnt Store Road in unincorporated Lee County on Wednesday.

Workers with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission found the skeletal remains about a quarter of a mile off the road while they were removing exotic plants.

John Sheehan, Lee County Sheriff's Office spokesman, said investigators don't have any details about the bones or how long they were in the area.

The remains will be turned over to the Lee County medical examiner's office for further investigation, Sheehan said. The area is being considered a crime scene he said.

Investigators are expected to continue studying the area today, scouring the sandy dirt for possible other remains.

"Right now, they're searching the area, seeing what else is out there," Sheehan said.

Yucca Pens search continues in area where body was found

It used to be almost every weekend at the Yucca Pens in north Lee County: reports of beer-guzzling, car-torching camp-outs, complete with marathon all-terrain vehicle races.

But it's still unclear if the human remains found scattered across the open landscape Wednesday were from any of those revelers.

Lee County Sheriff's Office spokesman John Sheehan said the single set of bones was turned over to the District 21 Medical Examiner's Office to try to piece together who the person was, when he or she died and how.

Deputies had scoured the area Thursday, with the help of students from the Southwest Florida Criminal Justice Academy.

"They're looking for any oddity," said academy director Tim Day, who also is a Cape Coral City Councilman. "They usually call us when they need to search a wide area."

Sheehan said investigators will continue to search through at least part of this morning.
