Human bones found in Greenfield

GREENFIELD - What's believed to be human bones have been found in a wooded area off of Lake Desolation Road in Greenfield.

State troopers and investigators were in the area in the northwest corner of Greenfield, near the Edinburg and Providence town lines, searching all day after the bones were discovered Monday.

The heavily wooded area is about three miles northwest of Lake Desolation.

Parts of a human skull, perhaps that of a child, were found there.

About two dozen state troopers, plus forest rangers and volunteers where involved in the search about a mile into the woods off Lake Desolation Road.

State police wouldn't say what, if anything, they found.

The bones will be tested to see if they can be linked to any area missing persons or unsolved homicides.

Because the skull may be a child's, investigators immediately thought of a Jaliek Rainwalker, the 12-year-old Greenwich boy who went missing two years ago under mysterious circumstances.

DNA testing will help police match it to missing persons cases.

The area where police are searching is known as Daketown State Forest. That's the same general area where 19-year-old Christina White of West Milton was found stabbed to death in 2005.
