The Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s Office is awaiting DNA analysis to identify human remains located on hunting property in the eastern part of the parish over the weekend, according to authorities.

Sheriff Mark Herford said the body of an adult was found Saturday, Sept. 10, inside a deer hunting supply shed on the property, and that the unlocked shed had not been accessed by hunters for several months.
He said the property was located between the area known as the Wye and the Allen Parish line.
Herford said investigators have submitted DNA to the Louisiana State Police lab for analysis, but that answers could still be weeks away.
“At this time we are not releasing any further information. More details will be released as they become available,” Herford said.
