Human Remains Found In Escambia County Under Investigation

August 23, 2011

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office is investigating after human remains were discovered in one neighborhood Sunday afternoon.

The remains were found in a wooded lot near the Marcus Pointe Apartments on Enterprise Drive.

“The caller was out walking his dog in a wooded area at the rear of the apartment complex,” said sheriff’s spokesman Deputy Chris Welborn. “He noticed the body lying in the brush and contacted us.”

Investigators have not yet been able to identify the male victim, but they have classified his death as suspicious.

“The body has signs of injuries that are not indicative of self-inflicted wounds,” said Welborn. “We are awaiting the results of an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.”

Investigators do not have any missing person cases that could be linked to the found remains.

Anyone who may have information related to this case is asked to contact the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620 or Gulf Coast Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP.

    If the golfers at Marcus Point Country club knew what lay beyond the chain link fence, they would pack more than just clubs in that bag. A dangerous area.
