OHIO — Authorities are investigating after a pile of human remains was discovered in a wooded area along Barger Road on Sunday afternoon.

According to the Clermont County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded around 2:47 p.m. to the 1500 block of Barger Road after a caller reported that her neighbor had found bones while searching for mushrooms on her property.

The bones were believed to be human.
