Greenway Closed Near Fairgrounds Following Discovery of Human Remains
New developments are unfolding today along the Springfield Greenway, near the area where a human skull was discovered yesterday afternoon. FULL STORY —> smokeybarn.com/boy-finds-human-skull-near-creek-on-springfield-greenway/ The skull was found off Sulphur Fork Creek, in the same general location where a human leg was located earlier this year.
Smokey Barn News has learned that the section of the Greenway across from the Robertson County Fairgrounds has now been shut down — presumably to allow for a more thorough search of the surrounding area.
We also believe additional remains may have been located triggering today’s law enforcement response.
If you plan to use the Greenway today, be prepared to detour or avoid the closed section while authorities continue their investigation.
Further details will be released as they become available. Powered by Chosen Towing & Recovery We buy junk cars!!”
