NO ID YET ON RACEWAY WOODS HUMAN REMAINS
Work continues to identify the human bones found Sunday, April 26, at Raceway Woods Forest Preserve in Carpentersville.
“We have a forensic anthropologist examining the remains,” Kane County coroner’s office cold case investigator Maureen Kelly said. “It will likely take weeks to months before she is able to provide details.”
Paul Burger, public safety director for the Forest Preserve District of Kane County, said he has been told by the coroner’s office that the bones most likely are from a man age 50 or older.
District police opened a death investigation after a Carpentersville resident April 26 reported finding a skull, in a remote, wooded area of the Raceway Woods, according to a news release. More bones were later located in the area.
Anyone who might have information related to the case is asked to call Burger at 630-232-3415.
