{Bowling Green, Kentucky}...Kentucky State Police say human remains found in August 2011 were those of a Native American woman who appears to have been scalped. College students searching an area of Barren County near the Cumberland Parkway for a rare tree stumbled across the remains, and a search by investigators turned up bones scattered in a culvert over a 100-foot area. Forensic examiners determined the woman was between 20 and 50 years old and had been killed by a shotgun blast between one and 15 years ago. Detective Chad Winn says the case is being investigated as a possible hate crime.
