On Wednesday, June 15, 2011, at 11:30 a.m. Clackamas County Sheriff's Deputies responded to the report of an inadvertent discovery of 'bones'; located in a shallow creek bed inside an area designated as a greenway, situated in the shared residential and commercial neighborhood of 13243 SE 124th Avenue, in Clackamas.
Members of the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office Patrol Division, Detectives, Forensic Evidence Technicians and the Clackamas County Deputy Medical Examiner's Office are on scene to investigate the discovery.
It is anticipated these investigative personnel will thoroughly process the scene of the discovery to recover and collect all potential remains and items of potential evidentiary value. This is not a newly discovered death, and consequently, with the reported advanced stage of decomposition present will require additional forensic examination.
Prompted earlier by Clackamas County Building and Zoning Officials, investigators report this area of the discovery was cleared in the last year of dense brush with the all the additional commercial construction taking place in the immediate area. A commercial parking garage is visible in the immediate area of this ongoing investigation. One side of this shallow creek is occupied by homes, and on the other side of the creek and greenway are businesses.
Additional details concerning this ongoing investigation will be released as the investigation progresses. [End]
