PORT ORFORD, Ore. -- Members of the Oregon State Police Crime Lab spent Tuesday morning digging in the area where a human skull was found under a mobile home in Port Orford.
Port Orford Police Chief Marvin Combs said the discovery of the skull, and now more bones that are believed to be human, has led to a death investigation of the area in the Anchor Inn RV Park on 9th Street.
The park recently got new owners, who were cleaning up the park and removing an abandoned trailer.
When they moved the trailer, they say they found the human skull laying on the ground.
The trailer has been taken to a site on the other side of town, and is being held for evidence.
Around 11 a.m., the Oregon State Police Forensics Team from Eugene started digging around where the skull was found.
Chief Combs confirmed to KCBY News Tuesday afternoon, that investigators discovered more bones buried in the area where the skull was found.
"We don't know what we have right now," Combs said. "This is just a death investigation right now. We aren't calling it a crime scene because we don't know if the skull is here because of a crime, or if any foul play was involved at all. Right now it's just a death investigation."
Any update from this
Sad don't remember a lost child. And if it is an adult I still don't remember missing person alert.
This is the most fun Port Orford has had in weeks.
Now we know why the city of Port Orford enacted a Dark Skies Law. They do not want people seeing what is going on in their little town. Thankfully, the citizens of Bandon are keeping the lights on here. Be careful of those who hide in the darkness and fear the light......
Not sure if there was crime? I guess someone could have crawled under their trailer to fix a pipe. Died of a heart attack and the racoons spread the bones around. Sure, why not.
There is an update to this story. More bones have been found in the area. Story will be updated here: http://tinyurl.com/byhkug8
