Skeletal Remains Discovered in Grandview

Human skeletal remains were discovered in a wooded area in the 1700 block of North Milton Avenue in Grandview, according to Sangamon County Coroner Jim Allmon.

The remains were located on April 18, 2025, and the Sangamon County Coroner’s Office responded to the scene at the request of the Grandview Police Department. Crime Scene Investigators from the Springfield Police Department assisted with the recovery.

A Forensic Pathologist examined the remains on April 19, with preliminary findings pending further study. An Anthropologist also examined the remains on April 22, and those results are still pending.

Officials say the identification process will be conducted scientifically. Next of kin will be notified once test results are available.
