Tooele PD: 'CSI' it ain't
Roofers found a human skull complete with some hair and skin while working on a Tooele home. I know what you're thinking: cool.

The Tribune's Erin Alberty reports that Tooele Police Chief Ron Kirby immediately focused his deductive reasoning on solving the mystery. First, Kirby nailed down the all-important time of death:
It appears to have been in the attic for "at least a number of decades," Kirby said.
Examining the skull closely, presumably with a big magnifying glass, Kirby noted:
The jaw is missing, but there is no obvious sign of trauma, other than that the skull is detached from its body.
The chief also concluded the skull is small,
But it is not obvious whether it belonged to a youth or a small adult...
"There's a lot of work yet to be done," Kirby said.

Ya think?

This skull could be the missing link!
But, then, that can be said of the police chief in this item, too . . .
