Since there is no law enforcement contact on the NAMUS profile and the only mention of this is one paragraph in a newspaper, I thought: It is a hoax? Is it grave robbers?
Well just today I found out that there is an old abandoned cemetery there.
I doubt if anyone was buried in anything fancier than a pine box. The last person was buried there in 1970? Most were buried between 1900-1950.
I don't know how deeply they are buried. There is really not soil out there. It's rock. It was on the ranch of the former Rudy's (well known local business) family who gave them a place to be buried, so I'm sure it was shovels and nothing else. (None of Rudy's family is buried here)
Many buried do not have headstones.
There are some older children who were victims of traffic accidents when automobiles first started in the area. Everyone is Hispanic. Most were sharecroppers....Many families buried other members in different cemeteries since this cemetery was on private land.
This cemetery happens to be on prime real estate
now.
The land appears to have been sold and subdivided for luxury homes beginning in the 1980s. Somehow this little cemetery happened to be there. I'm sure there were issues surveying the cemetery too.
The cemetery is now Dominion HOA property.
In 2010 a group from Find a Grave were out there.
In 2011, a backyard pond was dug next to where the cemetery is.
The cemetery is padlocked...
Find A Grave shows a beautiful blonde woman was buried there in 2018. She was not.LOL..Someone must have found an obit and assumed she was buried in "Leon Springs Cemetery"......No...just no...Obit gives no cemetery. My hunch she is interred out of state...

This is a very exclusive area. If there was foul play, we would have heard about it.
I don't think there was any serial killer involved...
I think the skull came from the cemetery. They may be hoping for an ID.....
But I kinda doubt they will get one.
I feel comfortable that it was someone from this cemetery.
