Cuyahoga Valley National Park Chief Ranger Chris Ryan confirmed during a press conference Tuesday afternoon that hikers discovered a human jawbone in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park Monday night.

Ryan said rangers and the FBI's evidence response team are at the park Tuesday morning and confirmed that "bones and some items of clothing have been found...spread out in an area..."

Ryan said the hikers found the remains just about 5 p.m. Monday and contacted park officials. Ryan added that part of a skull was also discovered when park personnel arrived in the area.

The Summit County Medical Examiner's Office was at the park Tuesday, as well as the evidence-gathering team from the FBI, along with the National Park Police.

The jawbone was discovered not far from the Valley Trail trailhead -- where the trail begins -- near the Towpath Trail.

Ryan said Tuesday afternoon that "...at this time, we don't know if (the bones) are from one or two persons..."

He added that rangers hike the trails regularly and said it "...is too early to determine if it is a homicide...but it is classified as a death investigation..."

The Cuyahoga Valley National Park is 33,000 acres, Ryan said, and the National Park Service area is about 18,000 acres.

WKYC's Erin Kennedy will have more on this story tonight starting at 6.
