NSW:Police uncover 48 bones from NSW dam
SYDNEY, Feb 18 AAP - A total of 48 human bones have been recovered from a dam in NSW's far west.
The first bone, a femur, was discovered by a fisherman in the weir pool next to Little
Menindee Creek Regulator, southeast of Broken Hill, on December 28.
A second bone was then uncovered in the same location in early January.
Police divers have since trawled the waterway, which is part of Kinchega National Park.
Barrier Local Area Command crime manager Detective Inspector Mick Stoltenberg told
AAP on Friday that a total of 48 bones have now been found.
They have been sent to Newcastle for scientific analysis and to try to establish an
identity of the deceased person.
Det Insp Stoltenberg said there was no indication as to when the results will be known.
Police have previously said it is likely the bones belong to a single corpse.
Interstate and NSW missing persons databases are being examined to try to identify
the deceased person.
