Body parts found near the Floyd/Gordon County line Friday – could have been there five to seven years and it could take months to identify the remains, according to the Floyd County Deputy Coroner Gene Proctor.

The remains are likely to be sent to a lab in Texas that specializes in regenerative DNA, he said. It could take about six months to get the results.

A hunter found a skull and femur on Kirby Road on Friday morning.

Major Mark Wallace of the Floyd County Police Department said investigators will be looking at open missing person cases in Gordon and Floyd County, since the area where the remains were found was very close to the county line.

Kirby Road is off Autry Road which is off Ga. 53 in northern Floyd County.
