The remains of what are believed to be those of an adult male were recovered in Wynne on Sunday, Nov. 28, by special agents of the Arkansas State Police Criminal Investigation Division, according to a release from state law enforcement officials.
The release said a local resident walking near 503 Front St. about 3 p.m. reported to Wynne police officers seeing a body in a shallow drainage ditch between Front and Ash Streets.
Authorities in the Wynne Police Department have requested the state police to lead the investigation associated with the death.
The remains were transported to the Arkansas State Crime Laboratory where the identity of the deceased will be determined, as well as the manner, cause, and time of death.
State Police said special agents began developing leads in the case yesterday and will submit an investigative file to the Cross County Prosecuting Attorney.
