Floyd County Police are reportedly looking into the possibility that bones recently found there might be the remains of a Rome man who was reported missing for some six years.

The bones were found in the woods near a dirt path off Kirby Road, at the edge of the Floyd County/Gordon County line.

A missing person report was filed by Dewayne Allen Robbins’ relatives in late July of 2009, but no leads turned up. Robbins’ minivan was later found in the area.

Robbins is described as a 39-year-old white male, approximately 6-foot-2 and 185 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes.

His last known address was 807 Avenue B but he had been staying at The Salvation Army at the time he disappeared and was thought to be homeless.

A hunter found a human skull in the woods Nov. 6 near Kirby Road. Floyd County police say the skull was found along with a femur, and a shoe was nearby.

Authorities are still awaiting results of tests from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation crime lab.
