DOGTOWN Authorities are not yet sure whether a human skull and bone found in a river in northeast Champaign County belonged to a male or female, Sheriff Dan Walsh said Friday.
Walsh said it is also hard to say at this point if the skeletal remains could belong to a missing person or a victim of foul play, or instead could be those of a Native American Indian and unrelated to any crime.
Preliminary indications are that the skull may be more than five years old, but it could be much older, Walsh said.
The area where the bones were found is commonly referred to as Dogtown, and Walsh said he was aware that the area has been rumored for years to be a dumping ground for bodies.
A family boating in the Middle Fork River discovered the human skull and another suspected human bone in the river on August 3rd or 4th, Walsh said. The family brought the skull and bone home before contacting police, Walsh said.

This is precisely the area where Jamie Harper was last seen about 6 years ago.

Heather Zimmerman is another possibility. Her location LKA was in Gifford.
