Unidentified Human Skull Found In Woods Off Hamilton Mill
Gwinnett police need the public's help to identify a human skull found in the woods off Hamilton Mill Road near Interstate 85.

DACULA, GA — A human skull found recently in woods near Interstate 85 has investigators scratching their heads.
Discovered a week ago near malls and houses off Hamilton Mill Road and Sardis Church Road, the skull is believed to belong to an 18-to-30-year-old woman, according to Gwinnett County investigators as reported by WSB-TV.
Past that, investigators know nothing. Was she murdered? Did she overdose? Or did she commit suicide? For that matter, did she even die where the skull was found? All they know for sure, according to the medical examiner, is that the skull could have been there for as long as two years.
