A state forensic expert should have a better idea today whether skeletal remains found in a demolished West Athens house last week belong to a man or a woman.
Authorities will wait longer - maybe months - to confirm their suspicions the bones belong to a West Hancock Avenue man missing since 1995, according to Rick Snow, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's forensic anthropologist.
The bones, which workers found Thursday as they demolished a house on Carter Street, were "heavily encrusted" with dirt, and Snow began cleaning them Monday at the GBI Crime Lab in Decatur, a process that should be completed by today, he said.
Snow might be able rule out foul play as the cause of death by studying the bones.

Police said a construction worker found the bone while tearing down an old abandoned home. The home of Walter Moody is just around the corner from the site. The 69-year-old disappeared in 1995
