Skeleton In Nassau Woods Not Missing Woman

POSTED: Tuesday, April 21, 2009
UPDATED: 11:48 am EDT April 21, 2009

A forensic anthropologist has ruled out that human remains found at a Nassau County hunt club earlier this month belonged to a Callahan woman who disappeared nearly nine years ago, but he still has not identified the remains or determined how the person died.

According to the Nassau County Sheriff's Office, two hunters found a human skull and bones April 10 while walking in the Deep Creek Hunt Club off county Road 119.

Sheriff Tommy Seagraves said it appears the bones are those of a white woman and foul play was suspected in the person's death.

"We're going to send this information to Broward County, where they have computer automated system that is able to reconstruct and rebuild a form of a face figure to the skull itself," Seagraves said.

Detectives sent dental records of the missing 52-year-old woman, Jacquelyn Markham, but they did not match.

The medical examiner and a forensic anthropologist from Florida Gulf Coast University continue to try to identify the remains.
