Logger finds skullBy Wendy LedbetterPublished Wednesday, May 21, 2008 in the Nevada County Picayune Human remains found in Nevada County Monday are being sent to the State Crime Lab for identification. The skeletal remains were discovered by a logging crew Monday morning, May 19, according to Nevada County Sheriff Bobby Carlton. Carlton said a logging crew in the lower part of Nevada County made the discovery. They were skidding logs and the driver looked over and saw a skull sticking out of a hole, Carlton said. It appears that the body had been buried in a shallow grave and that recent rains had exposed the bones. Carlton said there is speculation regarding the identity but said it will take the crime lab analysis of dental records to make positive identification.
