Human skull found near Kansas River in Bonner Springs

Kayaker on the Kansas River finds decades-old skull on a sandbar

Skull of mid to late age male found on sandbar by a kayaker on Kansas River. It has been in the river for "at least several decades" and is possibly historic, initial reporting made it sound more recent... IMO it's probaby historic but I'm gonna put this up here just in case it's not.

I realized after posting I forgot to include the date which was 10 June 2018!

That is pretty interesting. I was looking at the Kansas River near Bonner Springs area on google earth, I have never seen so many sand bars so close together like that before. I would have thought they could have narrowed down the age of it a little closer though. Maybe when they study it more they will be able to.

For posterity in case links are lost, the bone was taken to Wyandotte County Coroner's Office.

The case isn't in Namus and I cannot see any MSM updates. However in Namus there are only a handful of Kansas MPs listed who have been missing "decades" and quite a few of them are children, not older males.
