A homicide investigation is underway in Wilson County.

 

 The Kansas Bureau of Investigation, the Neodesha Police Department, and the Wilson County Sheriff's Office have begun a murder investigation after human remains were discovered Tuesday in rural Wilson County.

 

The skeletal remains were found in a pasture in the 6500 block of Ottawa Road. An autopsy has been scheduled to determine the cause and manner of death. Officials say positive identification may take longer than usual due to the advanced state of decomposition of the remains.

 

Anyone with information about the investigation is asked to contact the KBI at 1-800-KS-CRIME. Anonymous tips can also be submitted via the KBI website.

 

The investigation is ongoing.
