Human bones discovered in wooded area in Upstate New York, state cops say

Human bones have been found in an Upstate New York wooded area, according to New York State Police.

Troopers said a property owner on Champlin Road in Sodus, N.Y., called 911 to report skeletal remains discovered Wednesday. A forensic anthropologist conducted a preliminary examination and determined that the remains are human.

Members of the New York State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Forensic Identification Unit responded to the scene, with assistance from the State Police Canine Unit and the County Coroner. Additional bones believed to be human were recovered during a days-long excavation of the area, state police said Sunday.

The remains were turned over to the Medical Examiner’s Office for further analysis and identification, police said.
