Skeletal remains found in Lansing, setting off investigation by police and the KBI
Authorities are investigating to learn the circumstances of the death of a person whose skeletal remains were found near a creek in Lansing.
People walking along the creek found the remains around 5 p.m. Sunday near the 900 block of North Main Street, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation said. They called Lansing police, who asked the KBI for assistance.
“At this time, the identity of the deceased person has not been confirmed. Positive identification may take longer than typical cases due to the condition of the remains,” the KBI said.
An autopsy is scheduled.
