Human Remains No Match To Lubbock Missing Person Cases
Skeletal remains that were found near the Buffalo Springs Lake entrance last Thursday are determined to be no match for any missing persons cases in Lubbock, TX.
New developments in the investigation of human remains near Buffalo Springs Lake.
Lubbock Police tell NewsChannel 11 the remains do not match any of the missing adult cases in Lubbock.
The Lubbock Medical Examiners office is performing an autopsy to identify the remains and determine a cause of death.
Last week human remains were found near the rugged terrain by Buffalo Springs Lake. Investigators also found a human skull just feet away from today’s skeletal remains.
Crime scene tape marks the site on county road 835, just east of the Lake’s entrance. Friday, K-9 units from Amarillo, Texas Rangers, the DA’s office, and Lubbock Sheriff’s combed the area for clues, and their efforts have been successful.
The discovery of a human skull lead investigators to this area, where nearly 20 hours later, they found what could be the rest of the skeleton. “The body was found in proximity to where the skull had been discovered,” said Sheriff David Gutierrez.
LSO cannot speculate on the identity of the remains, but they have called the families of both missing girls, Joanna Rogers, and Jennifer Wilkerson. “We have several priority cases, the missing girls have been high all along. This is up on top and we are trying to get information as rapidly as possible,” said Sheriff Gutierrez.
