WEST SULLIVAN, Mo. — Skeletal human remains were found Friday in West Sullivan, Missouri. 

A Facebook post made by the Crawford County Sheriff's Office said the department received a call Friday that possible human remains had been found in the 4100 block of North Service Road W in West Sullivan. 

The post said the Crawford County Criminal Investigations Division responded and located human remains in the area. The remains are being identified by the Crawford County coroner. 

The department said it would update the public after the remains were identified and the person's next of kin was notified.

Preliminary findings from the medical examiner's office indicate the skeletal remains found are that of an adult Caucasian male. The skeletal remains are being sent to a forensic anthropologist for further examination and identification.
