Major Louie Koch, with the Shelby County Sheriff Department, says that deputies received a call on Monday about the discovery. He says that units responded to the location, which has not yet been named, and confirmed that what was found was, indeed, human remains. Maj. Koch adds that members of the department’s Detective Division along with the Indiana State Police and University of Indianapolis Anthropologist were able to remove the remains from the scene.
