In March, two children discovered a human skull along the railroad tracks running from Lockridge to Rome.

At the time Mt. Pleasant Police Chief Terry Sammon told KTVO he was hoping to learn  whether the remains are those of 24-year-old Jackie Leigh Douthart, who disappeared last May; or Elizabeth Syperda, who vanished in 2000 at age 22.
