FISHERSVILLE (WINA) – A chilling discovery as a contractor digging footers for a new home in Fishersville has found skeletal remains. The Augusta County Sheriff says the contractor was digging on the land parcel on Tinkling Springs Road when they found what appear to be human remains around 9:30 Tuesday morning. Sheriff Donald Smith is quick to say the remains do not appear connected to any active missing persons cases in the county, and are not believed to be related to 3-year old Khaleesi Cuthriell.

Once excavated, they’ll be sent to the state medical examiner in Roanoke for identification and cause of death.

State Police are also on the scene.
