x/university-of-tennessee
— Aug 18, 2026
Investigators say a cardboard box of bones found in a Kingston, Tennessee rental home contains historical human remains from at least five people, with razor-thin cut marks and wired vertebrae indicating they were prepared for medical teaching rather than a crime. Forensic officials are coordinating with the University of Tennessee Repatriation Office for disposal and possible DNA analysis, while debunking the homeowner’s claim of a Native American burial, with some bones showing embalming-like staining suggesting decades-old exhumation.
