[h=1]Decomposed human remains found on Walnut Creek hike and bike trail[/h]
AUSTIN, Texas - Monday, a cyclist discovered human remains along the Walnut Creek hike and bike trail.
Police said the body parts are in an advanced state of decomposition so they cannot determine cause of death or identify them.
I saw something kind of up in the distance, and we're thinking that maybe it was a dead animal from the distance, and just as we got closer, realized that there was some jeans and that there was something weird sticking out of it that looked like bones, said Jones.
Other cyclists rode by without noticing anything abnormal, but jones took a closer look. That's when he saw a foot inside of a sock sticking out.
About 90 minutes after calling the cops, Austin police arrived on scene near Johnny Morris Road and Daffan Lane.
The medical examiner was also called out to collect the remains. Meanwhile, investigators combed through a nearby field for evidence.
Tuesday, Austin police confirmed the bones were human remains in an advanced state of decomposition.

Detectives and the ME are working together to determine the cause of death and identify of the remains.
