Police think the skeleton found nearly three months ago behind a Hickory shopping center may be the victim of a murder, authorities said.
Lt. Thurman Whisnant of the Hickory Police Department said Wednesday that authorities are waiting on the final autopsy report and want to make sure the have correctly identified the skeleton before they confirm the death as a murder.
In July, construction crews were surveying land behind the Lowe's and Wal-Mart stores along U.S. 70 when one worker noticed a partially buried skeleton beneath the leaves and dirt.
Police did not want to discuss the details of their investigation before it was complete.
