"We’re trying to figure out who it is, we are looking at cases where someone has gone missing and we don’t just look in Manatee County, we are looking at surrounding areas,” said MCSO spokesperson Randy Warren.

Investigators said the bones were in the field for several months. They are expecting to determine who the person is by next week.
