HARMONY TWP. — Authorities are investigating whether a human skull found in Clark County field over the weekend may belong to a local missing woman.
Sheriff’s deputies said the skull was found on Saturday by a hunter near Ohio 40 and Houston Pike, about a half-mile from where 56-year-old Faith Willison went missing.
Her car was found nearby. He had hit a tree, but the air bags did not deploy. Her shoes were found outside of the car, according to Sheriff Gene Kelly.
Other evidence connected to the Willison case has been collected in the area, but no other bones have been found. Detectives are combing the area and going through the creek bed searching for more clues, Kelly said.
“We’re continuing to look and to see if there is any link between this human skull and Faith Willison,” he said.
Darkness and rain prevented detectives from searching the area this weekend. Authorities said they would be taking advantage of the daylight today to comb the south and southwest of Interstate 70.
A Bureau of Investigation pathologist will be attempting to identify the remains and match dental records in Columbus Tuesday, authorities said.
Kelly said the area was searched several times by detectives, cadaver dogs and even a plane but no remains were found.
