I think I remember this case. In the 1920's there were 2 Negro's found naked outside a young girls bedroom window. Case closed.

If they were former meth addicts, would they be "crystal skulls"?

They're probably victims from a Mexican Drug Cartel .

Define "quite a while." Did he mean months, years, decades or centuries?

If you look at this geographically,Illinois really not that far from Saint Joseph Minnasota.Jacob Wetterling was the first thing that came to my mind.He's been missing 22 yrs.I hope someday his family will have some closure.

Gee, Bull Valley is rumored to have a high concentration of White Supremacists, plus until recent years, the area has been very rural and secluded hmmmm. Don't know where it is? Google it. Still using the term "Negro"? Nice to know someone who is computer saavy still uses politically incorrect terminology from 40+ years ago. The
points being though: 1) Horrible things can happen in any
community and 2) Modern forensic science may reveal
the identities of these people or at least some clue as
to what happened to them and who may have been
connected IF enough resources are dedicated to the case. Human remains in a rural area? Not a surprise. Lol regarding the crystal skull comment--could be a crystal skull if enough meth was left in the nasal cavities :P

When a news article reports that two human skulls are found with no other information, people are going to make sarcastic comments because the skulls could be from this century or a millennia ago! The dis isn't to the people who died, it's to the reporter who did an incomplete story. He gets a C, not a B+ on this one.

Can human skulls be purchased for scientific research? Maybe they were purchased and placed to scare someone. All though many weirdos in this area so who knows. Not to mention it probably took the one cop in bull valley a half hour to arrive on scene. Good thing I don't live in bull valley just in case some whack job is on the loose peeping through the windows of that neighborhood.
