JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. (AP) — Army investigators are looking for more human bones or other evidence at a Joint Base Lewis-McChord site where a skull was discovered.

A civilian worker found the skull Wednesday along Highway 507 on the east side of the base near Roy. The scene was guarded overnight until the investigation could resume Thursday.

Base spokesman Joe Piek (peek) says it’s being treated as a crime scene. He says investigators will try to identify the skull, but right now they’re waiting for forensics work to determine age and whether its a man or woman.
