Marsh Lawyer Discovers Human Remains in Files PDF Print E-mail

An attorney representing former Tri-State Crematory operator Brent Marsh in civil cases discovered a skull, forearm and hand while sifting through documents in a Walker County evidence room.
Lawyer Stuart James says he found the human remains Thursday in two small, white body bags.

Marsh faces civil lawsuits in Georgia and Tennessee and nearly 787 felony charges since 334 discarded bodies were discovered in February 2002 at the crematory in Noble, near the Tennessee line.

District Attorney Herbert "Buzz" Franklin says the remains were placed in the evidence room at the Walker County sheriff's department after DNA testing failed to indicate their identity.

Officials with the county coroner's office were to transfer the remains to the morgue to be stored with other unidentified remains, he says.

Officials do NOT know how long the remains had been in the room. Walker County Coroner Dewayne Wilson says the remains were taken to the morgue Friday.
