Sheriff Greg Speck reports that on April 28, 2020 at approximately 8:00 PM, Detectives
with the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office received a call from someone saying they had
found human skeletal remains in a wooded area off South 27 near the McCreary County
line. The caller said they were hunting dry land fish (mushrooms) when they discovered
the remains. Lt. Bobby Jones and Lt. Daryl Kegley responded to the scene and
determined they were human remains. The Pulaski County Coroner’s Office was then
summoned to the scene as well as other members of the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office’s
Criminal Investigation Division.
Upon arrival at the scene, the Detectives and the Coroner began to investigate and collect
evidence. The remains were collected and will be sent to the Medical Examiner’s Office
for identification. It is unknown at this time whether the remains are male or female, but
there were women’s clothing found near the body.
Detectives were assisted at the scene by the Tateville Fire Department.
The investigation is ongoing by the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office Criminal
Investigation Division.
