Unidentified corpses from crematory will be buried at park

By
LAFAYETTE - Unidentified human remains from a Walker County crematory will be buried in a public memorial. <br> <br> Not all bodies that were dumped at the Tri-State Crematory will be identified. Only 109 of 339 total corpses have been identified so far. <br> <br> Georgia chief medical examiner Doctor Kris Sperry says it won&#39;t be possible to ID all the remains but that officials will not be allowed to cremate them. <br> <br> Sperry said that after the criminal investigation is over, the remains will be numbered and buried in a park memorial planned for the tragedy. <br> <br> Walker County Commissioner Bebe Heiskell said today that the 16-acre property around the crematory is probably not where a public memorial will go. <br> <br> She says the tract will probably be tied up in court for a long time and asked local residents to give money for a new park and memorial. The commissioner says it&#39;s too early to know where the memorial will go or what it will be like.
