SEDGWICK COUNTY— Law enforcement are investigating after the discovery of skeletal remains on Monday.
Just after 6p.m., deputies were called to the 4800 block of South Clifton after receiving reports of remains found beneath a tree behind a closed business, according to Sedgwick County Sheriff's Department spokesman Branden Stitt.
The advanced decomposition of the body prevented immediate identification, including an approximate age or gender.
Detectives were joined at the scene by the Sedgwick County Coroner and an anthropologist to assess the discovery. The remains were transported to the Regional Forensic Science Center, to determine the identity of the individual.
Detectives are reviewing missing persons reports from the region and continuing to collaborate with the forensic science center.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office Investigations Division at (316) 660-5300.
