Do you know where this was found?

The age range matches two of the three.

No I sure don't and then the skeleton this morning on the news did not mention an actual address. I will continue to follow up

WKY3 is reporting that it appears the person died where they were found. Police says there are no "clear" signs of foul play.

Says workers at a nearby health care center found the body. I hope its not an elderly person.

There is a Magnolia Square Nursing Home nearby. This area is right off of Kansas Expressway/ 13 Hwy

These remains aren't in Namus, but I couldn't find anything about whether they'd been identified.
