Alabama Dog Discovers Human Bones, Including Skull with Bullet Hole, Linked to Murder Mystery

A Dog's Unusual Discoveries

• 🐕 Paulina Mejia's German Shepherd mix, Chicarin, has repeatedly brought human bones home from her Alabama lawn.
• 🦴 This is the third human bone Chicarin has delivered in the past year, with the most recent being a long bone found earlier this month.

The Skull and Leg Bone Discovery

• 💀 Last summer, Chicarin found a human skull that, upon DNA testing, was found to belong to the same person as a leg bone discovered in December.
• ⚠️ The skull notably had a bullet hole in it, suggesting a violent end for the individual.
• 🔍 Investigators have been unable to identify the person whose remains were found.

Suspected Source of the Remains

• 🗺️ Paulina believes the bones are coming from a neighbor's property, as Chicarin was frequently seen coming from that direction.
• 🌳 The suspected area is described as a wooded, abandoned area behind the neighbor's house, possibly a former school site.

Investigation and Potential Breakthrough

• 🚓 The Birmingham Police Department was called after the initial discovery of the skull, though officers initially couldn't confirm if it was human.
• 🧬 DNA testing confirmed the skull and leg bone belonged to the same individual.
• 🦴 Following Chicarin's discoveries, it is believed that the rest of the remains may have been found, though this is not yet officially determined.
• ❓ Despite the discoveries, there have been no unusual neighborhood events or reports of missing persons that could explain the situation.
