Mo. farmer finds human bones, clothes where woman disappeared

LEBANON, Mo. (AP) -- A central Missouri farmer has found bones and clothes that police say could be from a 43-year-old woman missing for more than a year.

The man was spreading fertilizer Tuesday when he discovered a shoe and human bones.

Laclede County Sheriff Richard Wrinkle says he believes the bones are the remains of Tracy Wahwassuck, who went missing April 13, 2007.

Wahwassuck was last seen in Lebanon near where the bones were found. Her boyfriend told law enforcement that she might have gone looking for arrowheads.

Officials also recovered several human teeth, which can aid the identification process.

Because of the condition of the remains, Wrinkle says it could be difficult to find an exact cause of death.
