NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. - A shocking discovery was made in New Smyrna Beach this week, as well over two dozen bones were found including that of a human skull. The bones were discovered around 9:00 am on Tuesday, at the 1700 block of North Dixie Freeway. Police are investigating what is, for now, a highly mysterious case.

The remains were found by a city archaeologist, reportedly while examining a historical site. Detectives uncovered 30 bones in the subsequent search, with one being a human skull. Key information, such as the identity of the deceased, their race, sex, or cause of death is currently not known.
