Kalamazoo County Farmer Finds Man's Bones On Land

BRADY TOWNSHIP (AP) - Authorities say a Kalamazoo County farmer found a man's bones on his southwestern Michigan property, where they'd been for several years.

They say the farmer discovered the human remains Monday night on his land in Brady Township. It's about 10 miles southeast of Kalamazoo.

Undersheriff Pali Matyas told the Kalamazoo Gazette that deputies got a call from the farmer. Authorities were going over the scene Tuesday.

State police said the bones were from a man.

WOOD-TV says investigators believe the bones had been at the location three to five years.

Authorities have sent the bones to Michigan State University's forensic anthropology department for analysis.
