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.

James Kevin Caccavari

Caccavari, 43, disappeared from Cape Coral, Florida on March 8, 2005. In September 2007, his remains were found in a wooded, brushy area off Burnt Store Road. The bones weren't identified until August 2009. Caccavari's death remains under investigation; police aren't certain whether he was murdered, but his parents have always suspected foul play in his case.


Here's a discussion forum thread giving some info and more dead links.

Apparently it was a DNA match and he was found buried but the police were not calling it a homicide investigation but a death investigation. COD unknown.

Not sure how you get buried in the forest if you die naturally.

James Caccavari 47, Cape Coral FL 2005 REMAINS FOUND 2007 ID'd 2009 - Help Find The Missing
quotes a dead-link article saying that Caccavari was in the area looking after his parents' house while they were on vacation. They returned from their vacation to find the house burglarized and the son missing with all his belongings. Shortly afterwards a felon named Shawne Nelson was stopped by the police driving the missing man's truck. Caccavari's father is convinced Nelson had something to do with his son's death but it is too late to get a confession out of him since he's been shot to death by the police in an unrelated incident in Colorado.
