EDINBURGH, Ind. (AP) - Police say it might take a month to
complete a report on human remains discovered in a shallow grave
near Camp Atterbury.

The Johnson County Sheriff's Office says a mushroom hunter found
the grave last month. It was about 2 feet deep, and animals had
partially unearthed the body.

Police are working with a forensic anthropologist from the
University of Indianapolis to recover the remains and compare them
to missing person records.

Camp Atterbury is about 20 miles south of Indianapolis and used
to train troops for combat in Iraq and Afghanistan.
