Authorities are investigating after a human scalp was discovered in a Joplin
campground. Newton County Sheriff Chris Jennings said the owner of the Holly
Haven Campground on the southwest side of Joplin found the scalp Saturday
morning near a pond. The Joplin Globe reports that cadavar dogs and a dive team
were sent to the scene but found nothing. The scalp has been taken to the
Missouri State Highway Patrol crime lab for analysis. Jennings said the scalp
was probably dragged to the campground by animals.
