Non-Human Bones Identified in Chisholm Residence Investigation

The Chisholm Police Department is providing an update regarding the bones discovered in the basement of a residence in Chisholm last week.

With the assistance of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office, and a forensic anthropologist, the bones have been analyzed and determined to NOT be of human origin. This conclusion was reached after a detailed review by experts trained in the identification of bone material and remains.

We want to thank the Minnesota BCA once again for their continued support and expertise throughout this investigation. We also extend our sincere appreciation to the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office and the forensic anthropology team for their timely and thorough analysis.

Based on the items recovered during this incident and the completed analysis, there is no longer any reason to continue the investigation related to this particular matter.

Chisholm, Minn. — The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) is assisting the Chisholm Police Department with an active investigation following the discovery of possible human bones in the basement of a residence in Chisholm.

In order to thoroughly and safely process the scene, the BCA’s crime scene team was requested to assist our local investigators. Initial observations indicate the bones are NOT believed to be of human origin; however, they will be submitted for further analysis to confirm their origin.

The Chisholm Police Department takes every report and potential lead seriously. Any detail—no matter how small—has the potential to help resolve open investigations. As our community is painfully aware, the disappearance of LeeAnna Warner remains an open case that has deeply affected Chisholm for more than two decades. We want to reassure the Warner family, and our entire community, that we remain committed to following every credible lead with care, diligence, and compassion. Our hope is that continued efforts and cooperation will one day bring long-awaited answers and a measure of peace to those who have carried this loss for so long.

Updates will be provided as the investigation progresses
