Since the remains are described as 'bones' in the article I'd be inclined to think the person had been missing longer than that, but until we get a more definitive information, I wouldn't want to rule him out.

Yeah that’s more likely. I tried to look for people missing from Pensacola but until more details emerge, we can’t really accomplish much.

Is this near where Tiffany Daniels disappeared?

Is this near where Tiffany Daniels disappeared?

I saw her name pop up in some of my searches but I’m not positive.

ETA: ohhhh yeah she was from Pensacola too. Hmmmm.

 

[carbuff]

I saw her name pop up in some of my searches but I’m not positive.

Googlemaps says about five miles from where she worked, and it looks like this building/park is probably on the way to where her car was found.

I found a few more possibilities:

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) Alonza Lee Kent supposedly went out on his boat, which was found in Mexico, in 2011.

Sharon Ann Martin – The Charley Project Sharon Ann Martin was murdered in 2006 and her body never found.

Jadekiss McNeal – The Charley Project Jadekiss McNeal disappeared in 2015. May have been a runaway, but maybe not.

I'll try to list some more tomorrow.

Human remains decomposing in a crawl space would likely cause an odor throughout the building that would have been noticeable to anyone in the building. Just thinking - there might have been a time when the building was not in use, before the Boy Scouts or other civic groups used it. The remains may predate use by the Boy Scouts. It is hard to imagine the building in use with the smell of decomposition wafting in the air. I think these remains may have been there for a long time, unless a perpetrator moved them from another location.

Dang, what kind of badge do they get for this?!

You have to wonder about those lost or not found as a result of hurricanes in years past. In 2020, hurr Sally went thru. In 2018, hurr Michael went thru. If the remains were truly buried underneath the house, it’s not likely. But if they were simply near the foundation, that’s another story. How much was the building used during the pandemic?

Was it empty during covid?

You'd think that would be true, but we've had remains found under platform beds, in house chimneys, and a lot of other places where you would think decomposition would have been noticed.

When you say "we," @carbuff, I hope you don't mean in your home!

(Just joshing for a light moment, no disrespect meant to this case.)

Nah, it's the royal "we"

Besides, nobody else in this house does stinky unidentified cases

Published today with more detail of the actual find.

Boy Scouts Discover Human Remains While Cleaning Building (msn.com)

Snip:
Andy Waltrip, assistant scout master of Boy Scout Troop 3 in Pensacola, told WEAR-TV that the children found the human remains in a crawl space underneath the building that they were tasked with cleaning and refurbishing on Saturday.

"Along with passing trash and extra lumber and things like that out from underneath the building through the little hole, they passed out a couple of bones," Waltrip said. "Very dry, didn't have any smell to them, looked like they'd been there a long time."

Waltrip said that the juveniles were not "freaked out" by their discovery as "they actually thought it was chicken bones or little animal parts too."

He said that the scout master only became concerned and called the authorities when "it looked like possibly part of a skull came out," saying that they then said: "'Time out, hold up.'"

When I here Pensacola I think of Tavia, missing since 1985. Maybe they finally found her.

I guess it's better to wait for more info about the remains.

Another possibility is a homeless person who crawled under the building seeking shelter, perhaps in a hurricane or tropical storm, and died there.
