Remains Found In River Bottoms Still Not Identified

There’s still no word on the identity of human remains found Monday on Evansville’s southeast side. 

The remains were found in the Ohio River bottoms off S. Weinbach Avenue, south of I-69.

Evansville Police said in a tweet that a fire department rescue squad was called to the scene to “retrieve the victim.”

In an email, the Vanderburgh County Coroner’s Office said authorities are working on a presumed identity but a positive ID has not been made.

An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon. 

There’s no word yet on whether foul play is suspected.
