Memphis police have discovered the remains of three young children in a wooded area near Ridge Meadow Parkway, with officials stating the remains may have been there for several years. The investigation began on March 8 after an anonymous caller reported a possible human skull near the area. Over the following weeks, search teams recovered additional bones, including a second skull found in a drainage pipe on April 1 and 14 more bones the next day. Police Chief Cerelyn 'CJ' Davis confirmed the remains belong to children estimated to be between 3 and 7 years old. The cause of death remains undetermined, and authorities have not linked the children to any missing persons reports in the Memphis area. Approximately 170 personnel, including local, state, and federal agencies, are assisting in the ongoing search for more evidence. Davis urged the public to come forward with any information, emphasizing that someone must know the children's origins. She stressed there is no active threat to the public.
