Memphis Police Probe Remains Believed to Be Three Children

A passerby found a skull near a wooded area in southeast Memphis in March, leading investigators to recover what are believed to be the remains of three children ages 3–7. The MPD homicide unit and Shelby County Medical Examiner’s Office are working with local, state, and federal agencies—including the FBI—to identify the victims and determine the circumstances of their deaths. The search area remains active; authorities say there is no current threat to the public and are urging anyone with information about missing children to come forward.
