ATLANTA - Cobb County police combed through missing person reports Saturday trying to identify the body of a decomposed male found in an abandoned house. <br>
<br>
Workers demolishing a house in Austell Friday found the remains of a man underneath the building, said Cobb police spokesman Dana Pierce. <br>
<br>
``It was discovered in the crawl space underneath what appeared to be an addition to the house,'' Pierce said. ``Investigators said the body appeared to have been there quite some time.'' <br>
<br>
The age and race of the body could not be determined, Pierce said. <br>
<br>
Investigators are ``looking for a document trail,'' but Pierce declined to say whether papers or other evidence, including clothing, were found in the remains. <br>
<br>
An autopsy was performed Saturday, but calls to the Cobb Medical Examiner's office were not immediately returned Sunday.
