ELSMERE, Ky. — Human remains found in Kenton County have been identified as a 28-year-old Cincinnati woman.
Elsmere police responded to a wooded area near Palace Avenue and Spring Street on Sept. 3 after citizens discovered what they believed to be human remains.
With the assistance of Kenton County police, officers secured the area and accessed it from the rear yard of a resident on Palace Avenue, but police said the residence is not linked to the deceased and the homeowner has been cooperative.
