Foul play not ruled out for human
remains found in ‘shallow grave’
By Layne Saliba
DCN Regional Staff
The Gainesville Police Department
is not ruling out foul play in the dis
covery of human remains in
Gainesville, Friday, July 12.
The remains found in a drainage
culvert near the site of a carnival off
Browns Bridge Road had been buried,
according to Gainesville Police Chief
Jay Parrish.
“The majority of the remains were
located in a shallow grave that
became exposed due to erosion over
time,” Parrish said in an email. “We
are comparing missing persons
(reports) both from Gainesville and
surrounding jurisdictions.”
Parrish said they believe the remains
have been there “for several years.”
The remains were transported to the
Georgia Bureau of Investigations
crime lab for an autopsy, scheduled
for Monday, July 15.
Anyone with information is asked
to call the police at (770) 534-5251.
Reporter Nick Watson contributed to this
