It was not a recent burial, it is not a Native American burial, and doesn’t appear to be a homicide. There was no clothing nearby.

The skull and thorax had distinctive saw cuts, which led them to believe an autopsy had been performed.

The article said the body was there for 20 or 30 years , prior to 1999.So it was placed at the location between 1969 and 1979.
How factual is this belief in the body having been autopsied?
I Kinda want to sleuth out property records see what year the shed was built ,the house . What was there in 1969 and who was there? Also wonder if the local county might even have record of a burial on family property .
I might look into this later just because the number of questions I have about it.
