Shawnee County sheriff’s officials were investigating the discovery of human skeletal remains that were found Monday evening in a wooded area just west of Topeka, authorities said.
Deputies were called Monday evening to an area just north and east of the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism office at 300 S.W. Wanamaker after an individual reported finding skeletal remains in the dense woods, said Shawnee County sheriff’s Lt. Harry Louderback.
Sheriff’s deputies responded to the scene and removed the remains with the assistance of the Shawnee County Coroner’s Office, Louderback said. The skeletal remains were found on private property, Louderback said.
