An investigation is underway after bones were found in a Bronzeville backyard during a landscaping project.
The man that uncovered them said they appeared to be human. Children were playing in a neighboring park when landscaping crews made the gruesome discovery. "So it seemed as though someone had taken great time to really place those bones on the ground. So, which made us feel like it might have been somewhat sinister," said outdoor living specialist Dean Barnett. Just before 11:30 a.m.
Barnett, the owner of the landscaping company, said Chicago police arrived and also an investigator. The homeowners didn't want to talk. "They were just generally kind of creeped out," said Barnett. Records show the home was built in 1891. Barnett said the bones appeared to have been cut. "One bone was cut along its side to expose the interior of the bone, where a bone marrow typically exist.
