Opelika police find more remains near site where child's skull found

OPELIKA, Al.
More remains have been found near where a child's skull and unidentified remains were found Saturday and Monday.
According to a release from the Opelika Police Department, approximately 20 officers and investigators of the Opelika Police Department, Auburn Police Department and Lee County Sheriff's Office went back to the area of 1700 Hurst Street to continue the investigation earlier today.
Officers conducted a grid search of a thick area of trees and underbrush located on the northern edge of the Brook Haven Trailer Park. During the search officers found what they believe to be human skeletal remains in the wooded area.
The remains will be sent to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences for analysis. It is unknown whether the remains found today are related to the skull found earlier.
Capt. Bruce DeLong said officers were unsure if the remains found Monday were human or animal, and that testing could take a while.
The location of both the skull and remains is near Rosemere Cemetery, but DeLong said it is not clear if there could be a connection.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Opelika Police Department Investigative Services Division at 334-705-5220 or the Secret Witness Hotline at 334-745-8665.
