JACKSON, MS (Mississippi News Now) -
Two decomposing bodies are found in west Jackson about 5:30 Friday evening.
Police say they were found by workers from a law maintenance company at 550 Country Club Drive, just off Clinton Boulevard. It is the old site of Shady Oaks Country Club.
The bodies were found behind a group of trees in a field.
Investigators say it appears the bodies were dumped at the location, possibly a week ago.
According to Deputy Chief Eric Wall, no problems have been reported in the area.
The decomposition is so bad police haven't been able to determine a race, gender, or cause of death.
"You have a situation where it's a wide open area. The animals come in and bothers the crime scene and what have you. The weather plays a factor. So, you know, we are just kind of starting it at ground zero," says Wall.
Officers are checking missing persons reports in the area.
Faith 4 Life Church now operates on the property.
