BELTON (October 29, 2009)--A report released Thursday by the Bell County Sheriff's Office confirms skeletal remains found a week ago near Stillhouse Hollow Reservoir are those of a white male.

Sheriff Dan Smith told News 10 the remains are those of a white male, who was approximately 35 to 60 years old.

Smith did not indicate whether forensic scientists found evidence of foul play or injury.

Hikers found the remains on Oct. 21 in a remote area near the Stillhouse Hollow Dam.

The remains included a human skull.

Smith said investigators assigned to the case are compiling a list of missing persons who could meet the age, sex and race described in an effort to identify the remains.

At least Michelle shows some compassion towards the victim and possibly a family that might find out it's their relative. Bottom line, someone died, and a family lost a loved one!
