Earlier this month, a skull discovered on a property in New Mexico has been confirmed to be obtained online, with no ties to the case involving a missing woman from 2019, as reported by the Lee County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday.
The sheriff’s office disclosed that a man in the county was seen entering a vehicle while carrying two bags and making disturbing comments. He subsequently discarded items that appeared to be human remains.
Following this, the body was found during investigations concerning this individual in Jaru, a small city with a population of around 2,000 in the southeastern region of the state.
Upon further examination, it was determined that the seven skulls retrieved had decorative elements and carvings unfamiliar to the local area. The investigators concluded that these skulls were sourced from online platforms, according to the statement released by the agency on Thursday.
The coroner indicated that the remains discovered on the property held “no medical or legal significance.”
He added that the remains would be subject to medical cremation.
Initially, after the discovery of the body on November 12, there was speculation that it might be connected to Angela McMans, who went missing in 2019.
However, just two days later, the sheriff’s office clarified that there seemed to be no relationship between the skull and McMans, aside from the close proximity of her residence to the site where the skull was found.
