    3. Remains found in Henderson Reporter: Casey Stegall Henderson, KY June 26 -- A construction crew came across a grisly discovery Wednesday while on the job in a Henderson County neighborhood Crew members were working on excavating a site on Stonegate Drive in Henderson, when they came acrosswhat appeared to be human remains. They called police. Whose remains where they? Initially, authorities believed they could be those of a missing person, like Heather Teague. But the state medical examiner stepped in and ruled the bones were much older. It only took forensic experts a few minutes to determine that the remains found here were those of an African-American adult and child. This land was being cleared to build a home. Now construction has been halted, and the entire area must be searched for more remains. The coroner will work with archeologists. Henderson historical representatives believe this was a cemetery and the people buried here are perhaps slaves. Casket handles were also found, which indicates a formal burial. For now, the area is off limits. Police have contacted the property owners and given them the news. Experts said it may be too early to tell whether more bones will turn up. The state forensic expert did not reveal just how old the bones are. ------------ For those of you keeping count this is the 3rd such incident in KY this year I email several weeks ago about the remains found on the new site of the courthouse in Frankfort KY under construction And in Ohio Co Ky just last week a report on a cemetery where the land was sold and a house was built on the graves of many african american ancestors Tamara Please Pray for my daughter Tabitha and grandaughter Hallie.
