BATON ROUGE — A possible skull was found at the Monte Sano BREC Park on Greenwell Street, the East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner's Office said Wednesday.

No other suspected remains were found during a search of the park. 

Baton Rouge Police said they were called to investigate the possible remains at 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

The possible human remains will be turned over to the LSU FACES Lab for further analysis, the coroner's office added. 

Residents living in the area said they were shocked to learn skeletal remains had been found near their neighborhood.

"It's scary, you don't know... I mean in a wooded area like this," resident Mark Carter said. "I was shocked, I was going to a buddy's house to check on him; he stays right there."

Agencies across the state of Louisiana use the LSU FACES Lab, located on the university's campus. LSU FACES Lab Assistant Director Teresa Wilson said the lab assists with 100 to 130 cases each year.

"Sometimes we can do a case quickly, it can be a matter of just a couple of weeks. Sometimes, it could just take a couple of months," Wilson said.

Anthropologists are able to figure out information surrounding the skeletal remains, plus if there was any trauma before, during or after death.

"We do what is called a biological profile, which is age, sex, ancestry and stature. This will give us a good idea about who that person could be," Wilson said.

That information is shared with agencies involved in the investigation to determine if the skeletal remains belong to a missing person or someone they are searching for.
