The Durham Sheriff’s Office discovered what appears to be human remains behind a building in Research Triangle Park.
According to a press release, bones were discovered on Thursday, September 16 at 6 p.m. in a wooded area near the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in Durham.
The FBI was called in to investigate because the institute is on federal property.
Both the FBI and the sheriff’s office are working to collect evidence from the scene. The sheriff’s office says there is no threat to public safety, but no other details were provided.
