The human bones were discovered by two hunters Sunday just north of the town of Paragon, RTV6's Ben Morriston reported.Police said the bones include a skull and other remains.Investigators aren't sure how long the bones were there, how they got there or whether they belong to a male or female, Morriston reported."We haven't identified what part of the human body it's from or anything. We're just securing the area for right now," Morgan County Sheriff's Department Detective Larry Sanders said Sunday night.Members of the Morgan County death investigation team were scheduled to conduct an extensive search of the area Monday afternoon to look for more remains or personal belongings of the victim, Morriston reported."They're going across looking for anything that looks out of place. By out of place, I mean anything like articles of clothing, any types of jewelry or any more human remains," Indiana State Police Sgt. Dave Bursten said.The remains will be taken to the University of Indianapolis where anthropologists will use DNA and dental records to try to identify the victim, Morriston reported.Police said the search may take anywhere from two to four days.
