On Dec. 2 at 8 a.m., the Lee County Sheriff's Office responded to a call regarding a welfare check on a family member that had not been heard from in several months. Deputies responded to the 200 block of Lee Road 205 in the Salem community, where they discovered what appeared to be human remains of an adult male laying in the yard of the home.
According to authorities, the remains appear to have been there for several months. Due to the stage of decomposition, investigators state they were unable to determine the identity of the individual, or if there was any potential of foul play. The remains will be taken to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences for a postmortem inspection to learn more information.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office is requesting anyone with information related to the case to contact them at 334-749-5651 or Central Alabama Crime Stoppers at 334-215-STOP (7867).
The Auburn Plainsman will update this story, as more information is released.
