The Ellis County Sheriffs Office received a call around 4:30 p.m. Saturday, from a resident who believed that they had discovered human remains while hunting near Section House Road, north of Alma. They are investigating it as a homicide.

Ellis County Sheriffs deputies responded to the location, which is a non-addressed parcel of agricultural land planted with crops and a small wooded area.

The responding deputies confirmed the remains to be human shortly after arrival. The deputies then contacted the Ellis County Sheriffs Office Criminal Investigative Division who came along with a crime scene investigator to the location.

The investigators determined that the remains had been scattered over a large area. The Ellis County Sheriffs Office requested the assistance of the University of North Texas Center for Human Identification.

The crime scene investigation began at around 6:30 a.m. on Sunday, which consisted of Sheriffs Office Investigators, Texas DPS aircraft and staff from the UNT Center for Human Identification.

The unidentified human remains will be transferred to the UNT Center for Human Identification.
