GREENFIELD, N.Y. (AP) — State police say fragments of a human skull found in woods in northern Saratoga County appear to be from a child 10 to 12 years old.
State Police Maj. William Sprague declined to say who found the bones on Tuesday. He said technicians will try to get DNA from the bones as part of attempts to identify the person.
Sprague declined to speculate whether the bones could be linked to a specific missing person case. He said the age of the bones is unknown, but they don't appear to be from an ancient burial ground.
He said lab testing will likely take four to six weeks.
