Human remains were found Wednesday at an elderly man's home in the Harts Creek area.
Deputies say the man, who's in his 80s, is not a suspect in the case.
He found what he thought were American Indian bones, put them in a bag and placed them in his chicken coop. The man said he was hunting when he found the bones.
The medical examiner confirmed the bones are human remains.
Deputies have secured the scene, and investigators say they'll be digging through missing persons cases to check for a possible connection.
UPDATE: More remains found in Lincoln County, W.Va.
More remains were found Thursday in the Harts Creek area.
