The partial remains of the decedent were found by arrowhead hunters in a wooded area near a water treatment plant approximately one tenth of a mile east of the plant and 340 feet north of Hancock street. Most of the upper body and both feet were missing. Bones were scattered about the area, and it was quite evident that the body had been ravaged by animals. The skull was in the area of the body's feet and there was a large hole on the right side of the skull slightly above the ear area. Twenty yards away, three spent 0.410 shells were found. No weapon was found at the scene. A large mixed-breed dog was also found dead in the area.
