Investigators say there's no immediate evidence of foul play.

The discovery comes less than a week after state police announced that forensic testing helped them identify the skeletal remains found in November 2005 in a ditch in nearby Massac County.

Authorities say 72-year-old Frances Graham of Tellico, Tenn., was kidnapped in September of that year. That homicide investigation continues.
