Three men on a Sunday morning hunt for deer antlers came across more than they were seeking after stumbling across what turned out to be human bones in the Grassy Lake Forest Preserve in the Barrington area.
Lake County Forest Preserve Chief of Ranger Police John Tannahill said it was obvious that the small bones, found about 11 a.m. on the east end of the preserve just south of Old Barrington Road had been dragged around and gnawed at by animals.
Near the bones were two different colors of fabric. Tannahill said they were so badly shredded that authorities couldn't determine what articles of clothing they had been.
Police believe the unidentified person died at that location.
Roughly 20 yards away, two femur bones were found, authorities said. The Lake County coroner hopes to extract DNA from those bones as a way to identify the body, said Tannahill, adding no skull or other body parts were found. Once identified, police will look through its missing person database to see about a match, he said.
Cadaver dogs from Wisconsin were brought in today to help search the wooded area.
"It's a death investigation. We're still searching the area," said Tannahill, adding that there still was about a foot of snow on the ground. "It would be nice to find out if there is out there other skeletal remains."
