Chattanooga Police Department investigators are working to identify a human skull found earlier this week on Noah Reid Road, near Shallowford Road and Bonny Oaks Drive.

“The investigators are attempting all possible ways to identify the remains,” Elisa Myzal, spokesperson for the police department, said in an email.

Identifying remains often takes a significant amount of time, Myzal said.

The department requests anyone with information who could help in the investigation please call 423-643-5100.
