A man was using a rotary mower to cut brush when he ran over the skeletal remains.

MTSU's Forensic Anthropology Search and Recovery Team, led by Dr. Hugh Berryman, worked the crime scene. MTSU will be assisting the Nashville Medical Examiner's Office with identifying the remains. They are a group of trained MTSU students who help with crime scenes around the state under Dr. Berryman's supervision.

Castle was the suspect in a Jan. 21 shooting after police say he shot more than 20 rounds from an assault rifle on North High Street before fleeing the scene.
