District Attorney General Russell Johnson of the 9th Judicial District says his office is assisting in coordinating the investigation of probable human skeletal remains in a location behind the KFC in Harriman. DA Johnson said Friday that the remains were discovered by utility workers performing some brush and tree removal.
The Roane County medical examiner came to the scene and ordered an autopsy. DA Johnson said the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation will work with the Harriman Police Department to identify the remains, and try and determine the circumstances of the individual’s death.
