Bloomington police are waiting for information on skeletal remains found on March 10 in Newton, Ill., in relation to the disappearance of IU student Lauren Spierer.
Newton is about 100 miles west of Bloomington.
"We, like many other agencies with an active missing persons case, are waiting for the results from their investigation to see if it has any relevance to our case," said BPD Cpt. Joe Qualters.
Awaiting information about found remains has become standard practice for Bloomington police since Spierer went missing June 3, 2011.
Just one month after the disappearance, a body was found in Indianapolis that turned out to be unrelated to the case. A similar incident occurred in October 2011, after a body was found in a field near Bloomington, Ill.
