ANything on this ID? Any specs on the clothing?
I talked to GBI Missing Clearing House yesterday and they still haven't rec'd anything on this.
"Apparently, somewhere, someone thinks due to these Nancy Grace reports on CNN that this may have national implications. It's causing hardships on our investigators," said Wendell Johnson, Spokesperson for the Huntsville Police Department.
Here's how it causes hardships.
"We've got police agencies, we've got national news agencies calling down here," said Johnson. "Bodies are found all around the country, there are thousands of people who are considered to be missing persons. Now, how this got to be of national interest, we have no idea."
The national media didn't mention the other set of remains in Huntsville that still haven't been identified. A construction worker found the remains in March, while clearing lots in a wooded area off of Meridian Street. Spokesperson Wendell Johnson says the police department got very few calls from other police agencies about this case.
"Not as much as this," said Johnson. "That's why were perplexed. Unless it was just Nancy Grace just coming up with the Peterson case. That's the only conclusion that we can reach," said Johnson.
"We've got two bodies here in Huntsville that have not been identified," NewsChannel 19 asked. "Is there any chance that there's a serial killer in Huntsville?"
"Here again, I'm not going to speculate on that, cause in both cases you had skeletal remains," Johnson replied. "Now remember, someone could go into the woods and anything could happen, you could deal with suicides, homicides, natural causes of death."
"Is the Huntsville Police Department looking for a killer right now?" we asked.
"No," Johnson replied.
"Not at all, since there were two bodies found?" NewsChannel 19 pressed.
"No. First of all, we have not determined the cause of death," Johnson said. "So how can you call it a homicide?"
Right now, both sets of remains are at the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences, where workers are trying to identify both people.
They are trying to use dental records to determine the identity of the body that was found on Meridian Street.
