Human remains found in a wooded area of Connecticut could belong to one of three girls who went missing more than thirty years ago.

A passerby walking in Vernon, Connecticut spotted the skeleton on Wednesday but police won't speculate if there are any connections to the missing persons cases that remains unsolved.

'It's too early to speculate,' Vernon police Lt. Bill Meier said. 'We're looking at all possibilities. We're not ruling anything in. We're not ruling anything out.'
