Authorities Investigate Skeletal Remains Found in Creek Near Atwood

CARROLL COUNTY (January 9) — The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Carroll County Sheriff’s Department, and Carroll County Coroner Steve Cantrell began a joint investigation after human skeletal remains were found in a low-lying, partially dry creek, just outside the city limits of Atwood Wednesday.

Authorities do not yet know how long the remains have been in the creek, but speculate the person died one year or less ago, according to John Mehr, special agent in charge with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. Some of the remains were found in the creek and some nearby, the agent said.

The age, race and gender of the person are also unknown, pending autopsy results, Mehr said.

A nearby resident called the sheriff’s department just after 4 p.m. Wednesday to report that he had found the remains.

Cantrell arrived on the scene and contacted the director of University of Tennessee Forensic Anthropological Department in Knoxville, who stated members of her department would travel to Carroll County to excavate the remains.

Authorities hope an identity will be determined after the remains are examined by the anthropological department and compared to information available concerning missing persons.

“There are several persons missing around West Tennessee,” said Mehr.
