New information about human remains in Nelson Co.

New information about the possible human remains found in Nelson County was released yesterday.

Officials with the Louisville FBI field office say the remains are estimated to be that of a female, though they cannot completely rule out the possibility of a male. The subject is likely between the ages of 24 and 82, and height is estimated to be somewhere between 62.6 and 70.9 inches. The FBI says their lab is continuing analysis, now attempting DNA extraction.

The remains were found near a creek on the Nelson/Washington county lines last month.
