A Birmingham dog that previously brought home a human skull linked to a homicide has now discovered another human bone, identified as a left tibia, or lower leg bone.
The discovery was made on Dec. 12 when the dog's owner contacted authorities after the pet returned with the bone, AL News reported. DNA analysis is underway to determine if the bone belongs to the same person as the skull found in August, Jefferson County Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Yates confirmed Friday.
