Huntsville - Authorities investigate the bones and prison ID that were found in the grass at the golf course owned by Sam Houston State University. On Wednesday, September 27, a city of Huntsville employee discovered skeletal remains while working in the area around the golf course and alerted the Huntsville Police Department.
"We think we know who it is because a TDCJ identification card was found in the pocket of some pants with the remains," Countz said.
Countz also said that the identity cannot be released due to the nature of the remains. With there only being bones left, the gender of the body could not be determined. Also due to the condition of the remains, the cause of death is pending because there was not enough of the body remaining to do an autopsy. The Sam Houston State University Police Department is handling the investigation with the assistance of state and local law enforcement agencies since the remains were found on university property. Sam Houston State released a statement that Wednesday afternoon to tell students they were not in any danger. "This property is not part of the main campus," read the statement. "There is no threat to students, and the remains appear to have been there for some time."
