Human skeletal remains were discovered Saturday June 29, in an area four miles northwest of Lamesa.

Sheriff Kent Parchman tells us the remains were immediately taken to Lubbock for an autopsy where it has been determined they are those of a female.
Parchman said the skeletal remains were found in a shallow grave in the middle of the farm, leading investigators to believe the female was a victim of homicide.
The sheriff’s department was not able to release any other information at this time.
