It was the second time in a week JSO officers were investigating remains found in a wooded area. The remains were discovered by two people searching for a dog Tuesday afternoon.

Neighbors and businessmen in the area said there is a homeless camp in woods nearby.

Last Thursday, human remains were found when someone was clearing a wooded area off Utsey Drive. On Monday, the Sheriff's Office identified the remains as those of 18-year-old Corbin Johnson, who was reported missing one year ago.
