BRADFORD TOWNSHIP – Apparent human skeletal remains were located Friday morning in Bradford Township, Clearfield County.
According to District Attorney William A. Shaw Jr., the remains were located by a hunter in a wooded area off Graham Road in Shiloh.
“This is suspicious … [because] we don’t generally find human remains in the woods,” he said, adding the cause and manner of death remain under investigation.
Shaw said on Saturday Dr. Dennis Dirkmaat, an expert from Mercyhurst College, will conduct a forensic search of the scene and collect the remains with a team of students.
The remains haven’t yet been identified, according to Shaw, who said it could take several weeks depending on the quality of the remains.
