Human Remains Found Near Artesia Railroad Tracks

Some disturbing news today out of Artesia, where human remains have been discovered near a set of train tracks. Artesia Polcie responded to the 300 block of North 1st Street on September 29th after a BNSF train conductor reported discovering a portion of skeletal remains near the tracks. Law enforcement then located additional skeletal remains behind the old Baker and Stephens Ture COmpany building. The remains have been taken to the UNM Human Osteology lab. Cadaver dogs were also brought in. Police say the remains appear to be more than a year old, at least.
