When police arrived at the residence, they spoke to a male resident who told them that while mowing his lawn he discovered a human skull.

ASP Rolle said tthe man checked his surveillance camera. While viewing the footage, the male observed a round object fall from a truck that was offloading soil in his yard the previous day.
