Couple searching for deer antlers stumbles upon human remains, police say
DELHI TOWNSHIP, Ohio (WXIX/Gray News) - A couple in Ohio who were looking for deer antlers in a wooded area stumbled upon human remains over the weekend, according to officials.
The Hamilton County Coroner’s Office said the remains were found Saturday and Sunday in two different locations in Dehli Township.
Delhi Township Police Chief Jeff Braun said the couple took photos of what eventually was identified as the remains. The photos showed what looked to be clothing, multiple bones and a shoe that still had a foot and sock inside.
Braun described the area where the remains were found as a “steep and secluded” area.
Police responded to the area Saturday afternoon to investigate along with the coroner’s lab and Cincinnati Search and Rescue.
As night fell, crews wrapped up their search after several hours. They returned Sunday and uncovered more remains.
Braun said there are no signs of foul play at this time and there is no threat to the public in regards to the investigation.
It’s not yet known if the two separate sets of remains belong to the same person or two different people.
The chief said he is unaware of any missing people in the area.
An examination will be conducted by the coroner’s office on the remains.
