Searchers Find Second Human Skull in Rural Western Missouri

Man, it would suck to finally find one of your missing loved ones and only a skull remains.

quote:

Investigators discovered remains from two humans in the same rural area of western Missouri and police asked the families of two missing women to meet with investigators, although the remains have not been positively identified.

quote:

A mushroom hunter found remains Monday in an area south of Belton and a second skull was found nearby Tuesday, according to Cass County Sheriff's spokesman Kevin Tieman. He said investigators have not determined the age, sex or race of either of the remains.

The mother of Kara Kopetsky, Rhonda Beckford, told The Associated Press Tuesday that her family and the family of Jessica Runions were notified about the remains and asked to meet with investigators at the Belton police department. But she said investigators told the families the remains would not be positively identified Tuesday.

Runions, 21, of Raymore, was last seen Sept. 8 leaving a gathering with friends in south Kansas City. Her burned vehicle was found two days later. Kopetsky was last seen at Belton High School in May 2007 when she was 17.

"They had us come to the police station and had a room there for us to sit with an advocate and liaison in case the identification came in," Beckford said. "But while we were sitting there they told us the identification wouldn't come in (Tuesday)."

quote:

Runions left the gathering in September with Kylr Yust, 27, who was later charged with burning Runions' vehicle. A judge entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.

Yust also has been questioned in Kopetsky's disappearance. Court records indicated Kopetsky filed for a protection order against Yust in April 2007. A hearing was scheduled for May 10, 2007 but Kopetsky went missing six days before the hearing.

Yust has not been charged in the disappearance of either Runions or Kopetsky.

Beckford said she was hoping for answers to her daughters' fate.

"I'm hoping for a resolution after 10 long years of waiting," Beckford said. "But quite a few times we heard about a skull or remains being found in the area and got our hopes up and it turned out not to be Kara."

Runions' family has searched rural areas nearly every weekend since she went missing. In January, they found the remains of two men on consecutive weekends.

Emphasis mine.

Authorities have stated the skull was covered in a strange mund-like substance. The same material was found on the mutilated bodies of 3 teenage cornboys discovered months ago in the same area.

And here I was hoping for some Mormon thing, like a real archealogical find that we get to disprove and fight the LDS on, like a set of 15k year old remains, not some boring forensic thing. It is absolutely no surprise that there are recent human skulls around.

And where even IS Missouri? I'm not American I can't remember all your states! Is that one of the states on the "Trail of Tears"? I had to learn about that travesty through an Iron Maiden song. So, grats on hiding that information, you hid it almost as well as the Turks hid the Armenian genocide.
