Mystery Skull, Part 1 DANBY, Vt. - It was a strange sight for the small town of Danby last February. A crew of Vermont State Police detectives scouring a stretch of road after a skull was found on an embankment. But the search turned up nothing. "We weren't able to discover any other human bones. Take from that what you can, so that leads you to believe either animals brought the skull there or humans placed it there," said Vermont State Police Lt. Tim Oliver.   www.wcax.com/story/18756754/mystery-skull-part-1 |

Mystery Skull, Part 2   DANBY, Vt. - In a lab in Fort Worth, Texas, the skull found in Danby, Vt., is waiting to be tested, while Vermont state police wait anxiously for answers. "What would help us would be an identification. OK, we know who it was; this is where they were last seen. We just don't have any information to go on. Right now we just don't know," Vt. State Police Lt. Tim Oliver said. If the lab in Texas successfully extracts the mitochondrial DNA, it will be run through a database of national missing and unidentified persons or NAMUS, and a match could be made in minutes. But that's not the only possibility. www.wcax.com/story/18771146/mystery-skull-part-2 |
