KANSAS CITY (AP) — Police have announced they are now conducting a homicide investigation into human skeletal remains found last winter in a wooded area in the heart of Kansas City.

Police announced the news in a written release Friday, citing an extensive examination of the remains over several months that revealed injuries that appear suspicious.

Officials are still working to identify the victim, believed to be a man, police said.

The skeletal remains were found March 2 near West 34th Street and Roanoke Road by a woman who was walking in the area.
