Skeletal Remains Found Near Blue Hill
(Lincoln, NE)- The Nebraska State Patrol, in conjunction with the Webster County Sheriff’s Office, is investigating the discovery of skeletal remains found near Blue Hill, Nebraska.
At approximately 6:00 p.m., Tuesday, March 2, 2010, a landowner called the Webster County Sheriff’s Office to report the discovery of what appeared to a decomposing body along a fence line on his property. The remains were found by a group of teenagers playing in the area. The property is located about a quarter of a mile west of West Park Drive on the north edge of the community of Blue Hill, in Webster County.
Investigators with the Nebraska State Patrol Troop C-Grand Island responded to the area and deployed the Mobile Crime Scene Unit.
The remains appeared to have been in the area for some time and were covered by tall grass and melting snow. An autopsy and forensic dental identification is planned. The investigation continues.
