Here is another "article". I do not know if we can count this as MSM since it says "blog", but :

He said it is not clear whether the newly found remains are human or animal at this time.

"We cannot confirm if the skull and remains are related," DeLong said.

He said the testing could take a while, but in the meantime the department has issued statewide and regional notices for any missing children.

The location of both the skull and remains is near Rosemere Cemetery, but DeLong said it is not clear if there could be a connection.

“It still had little hair, little teeth…little skin,” said Yvonne Johnson.


Police say the skull, appears to be that of a child, between 5-7 years old. While canvassing the area Monday, investigators found 'more' bones where a trailer had once been.

Wonder if all the previous residents in that trailer are accounted for.

I always think of Haleigh Cummings when skeletal remains are found this close to Florida.

I came to the website to see if anyone else was thinking about Haliegh Cummings and saw your comment. I had looked up the route from Satsuma, Fl to Antioch, TN (where Missy's Uncle Joe Overstreet lived) it would have been 583 miles. With just a little varing off his route and less than 70 miles added to his trip (652 miles) to take her across the alabama boarder.

This reminds me of another thread on here...

It looks like the locations are fairly close also, unless I'm reading the map wrong...

I wonder how old the remains are? How long does it take to completely decompose to only skeletal remains?

Looks like only about 28 minutes to me on the map. It is quite close. Also the other remains came from a trailer that has been moved throughout GA and AL. Stranger things have happened.

Could the tornado's have moved the bones ??

 

[MsFacetious]

Did somebody send in the tip about Haleigh Cummings???
Just to make sure they think about that connection despite the database??

“It will be put in a national database to see if we'll get any hits off of it,” said Bill Harris, Lee County Coroner.

As much as I want it to be Haleigh, I just don't see it. Especially if the lady that saw it was correct in saying it still had skin on it. I posted the link above.

So the other bones were found where a trailer use to be. It looks like whoever prepared the trailer and moved it would have seen something. Hope they can track this trailer down along with the owner.

I ran a search to find out how long it takes for hair to decompose. It states: Depending on the weather conditions and where body is stored in 50 to 365 days after death, moths and bacteria consume the hair.

So that would indicate the child probably died in 2011.

I feel the same, but we do not know if Haleigh could have been held captive for 2 yrs first. Anything is possible.

I immediately thought of this case. I just don't know about the hair....

ETA: I reread the beginning of that post and it looks like they only found pelvic and leg bone. I wonder if those 2 type bones were found this time?

I thought of this case too as soon as I read the article...

Any chance Timmothy Pitzen could have ended up in AL ?

 

[danilea]

Additional remains found. From our local paper...

[Chicken Hawk]

I read through the linked articles, but didn't see where it mentions which bones, other than a partial skull.

Has anyone read/heard about any particular bones? Like leg, arm, etc.

I searched NamUs for missing LKA 6/1/2010 to 2/2/12 ages 4-8 (it says 5-7 but I always expand the search ages a little) and came up with 5 possibilites.

They seem pretty far away though...


Timmothy Pitzen, 6 ~ He was last seen with his mother in Wisconsin but she was found deceased in Illinois. https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/12777/0/

Tanner Skelton, 5 ~ https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/9272/1?current_page=circumstances

So that would indicate the child probably died in 2011.

Wouldn't that depend on whether the remains were buried or not?
