MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) - Riley County authorities say human remains found on private property were those of an adult female and a male toddler.

Riley County police said Wednesday that a hunter found the remains in a shallow grave more than a mile from the nearest home.

Riley County spokesman Herb Crosby says the child was possibly 3 years old or younger. Neither body has been identified. Autopsy results were expected Thursday.

Crosby says there are no outstanding missing persons cases in Riley County.
