According to the former plant manager of American Limestone in Big Spring, the land that human remains were found on earlier this week did not belong to them at any time.
Jeff Elliot, who no longer works at American Limestone, tells us the land that the remains were found in is owned by The McMahon-Wrinkle Airport.
An employee at the airpark confirms that the land has always belonged to the city, which owns and operates the airport.
Elliot tells CBS 7 that the land was formerly used as storage by the airpark for the millings from runway resurfacing. He also claims that the gates to the area were always left open to allow truck traffic to pass through for Parker-Hannifin.
The airpark has also confirmed this but tells us that Parker-Hannifin closed a couple of years ago.
American Limestone leased property from the city and ceased its Big Spring operations in July 2011.
