Whoops Providence construction crew finds human jawbone
Police are investigating the origins of a human jawbone that was found near a strip club's trash bin and spent several months forgotten in the back of a construction supervisor's truck.

Forensic examiners say they have few clues to solve the mystery.

"Normally, I'll see a bone on the site where it was found," said Dianna Doucette, a Pawtucket-based archaeologist who identified the bone as human. "But here, it was handed to me in a plastic CVS bag."
