Human remains found in Simpson County more than three months ago have been identified.

Investigators confirmed to Darkhorse Press that bones discovered by dogs belong to Stephanie Suzan Sellers, 44.

Sellers’ remains were found Aug. 9 behind a home on Highway 451 in the Martinville community. The homeowners, who are Sellers’ father and stepmother, told authorities at the time that their dogs had returned from a nearby wooded area carrying human femurs in their mouths.

Investigators do not currently suspect foul play. The Mississippi State Medical Examiner’s Office has ruled Sellers’ cause of death undetermined.
