Nobody said anything about it to me, and I would think it would have been quite the topic of conversation as many of us were out to see the full moon. :idontno:

False alarm; bird/animal bones.  But a little disconcerting at first.

We heard about this yesterday while we were at the beach from several of the beach service guys....:idontno: They also mentioned other body parts washed up in PCB...again:idontno:

i was parked right in front of the bones yesterday and was there when the call was made to the sheriffs dept. as much as i didnt want to believe they were human bones, it was hard to determine. i know it didnt come from the sea thats for sure. it was a bit spookey especially because we picked them up before the cops showed up. just never know these days....

Smiling JOe

I was told that there were six Sheriff's Deputy vehicles on the scene, which was roped off, as one of the Deputies was taking numerous photos of the bone(s). A big investigation was about to begin. They soon determined it was the bone(s) of a Pelican. 

So much for juicy Who-Done-It gossip.

Only when I'm able to find out.  ;-)  If it HAD been a human arm (or any other active investigation), I wouldn't be able to.

actually it was really strange to read this as I was at the beach yesterday (Gulfview Heights access) and I could have swore there was a human hand floating in the water...I crept closer but I was not even thinking about picking it up. Needless to say, I got back on my scooter and went home.

February a year ago my dog brought up a piece of a human arm, the part from the shoulder to the elbow, the bone had been removed, and it was freshly cut.  Sheriff's dept. came out put it a bag and took it to Pensacola.  It had a small pox vaccination scar on it.

That is really a sad story.  I guess you never heard anything further about the identification, investigation, etc.?

Oddly, I never heard about that and pretty much any recovery of human remains causes our home phone to ring.  I'm hoping FDLE actually did something with it - :blink: like, perhaps, a DNA test?  :confused:

Never heard anything else, but the 2 deputies and myself had a lot of trouble identifing it as anything else but human.  Of course everyone had to poke it too!  I did hear on the news sometime later that individuals were killing people and cutting them up and disposing the pieces over a large area to make it difficult to identify.

I was on Grayton Beach yesterday and I was told the Police on the beach were there because an "Arm" washed up on the beach. Does anyone know anything about this? It wasn't on the local news.
