WINTER PARK, Colo. — A man out hunting for mushrooms made a gruesome discovery Saturday in Grand County.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) said the man found a human skull while he was looking for mushrooms just off of Highway 40 near Mary Jane Road.
CBI investigators, Fraser-Winter Park Police and officers from the U.S. Forest Service, along with the Grand County Coroner's Office, responded to the scene.
The skull and several other bones were found in the immediate area, CBI said. Grand County Search and Rescue team members did a larger search in the area and did not find any other remains.
The remains appear to have been in that location for quite some time, maybe even for years, CBI said. There was no identification or clothing found at the scene.
The bones will be sent to a forensic anthropologist, CBI said. The anthropologist will work to determine the sex, race, general age, along with trying to figure out how long the person has been dead.
Anyone who may have information about the case, is asked to call the CBI tip line at 720-295-6642.
