CLEBURNE COUNTY, Ark. — Deputies with the Cleburne County Sheriff's Office have confirmed the discovery of human remains at a wildlife management area near Warren Mountain Road in Wilburn.
Officials were notified that a woman was exploring the area with her dog when she stumbled upon a partial human skeleton. The individual also stated that before finding the skeleton, her dog had located a gun a short distance away from the remains.
It is unknown at this time whether there is any connection between the gun and the remains due to the distance between the two.
The skeleton was sent to the state crime lab for DNA and other testing, along with the gun while detectives continued processing the scene.
