Looks to be a shot to the head. Yikes.

Don't take my word for this - I am not an anthropologist, so I might be entirely wrong.

With only a single straight-on view of the skull, I am not entirely sure of the race and gender, but it appears to me to be a black female.

I am saying female due to the sharp upper boundries of the orbits, and a non-robust overall appearance.

I am saying black based on the broad nasal aperture, broad bridge of the nose.

There isn't a good enough view of the cranial sutures, and no teeth to estimate age.

I wish there were a few different views of the skull that were more close-up. I could be more sure.

My first guess would be I'sha Grier.

She also has the same broad cheekbones as does this skull. ETA - And when I overlay the images, her facial shape fits the skull quite well.

But she has been missing only five months, so I don't know though, whether she has been missing long enough to be that completely skeletonized.

According to Trooper Krebs via the Missing in Michigan Facebook page, "the remains have been deemed "ancient" and non-forensic in nature."
