It is sad to think what happens to missing persons in the area.

Not putting two and two together, but I understand that Nicola Payne's parents have been advised of the find.

Yes, I've heard that. Apparently, the police have just told the family that 'remains have been found'.

Not meaning to be flippant, but how horrible that poor person perished and never discovered. Could have been homeless or something.

Looks like identification's going to difficult, as the remains are only a partial skeleton. It could just end up being an unsolved mystery.

Might be worth looking upstream for old graveyards.
