Skull Found in New River

 Onslow County Deputies have a puzzle on their hands tonight after someone found a piece of skull near the New River. The sheriff's department says it recovered the skull this afternoon in French’s Creek after a couple of folks in the area spotted it near the waterline. Captain Rick Sutherland tells nine on your side the skull looks very old and even though deputies don't think it's connected to any criminal activity, they're sending it off to get tested in hopes of determining how old it is. At this point, Sutherland says they aren't sure it’s a human skull or an animal skull.
