PORTSMOUTH, OH (WSAZ) -- Police have found three bones in the backyard of a house in Portsmouth, but they are not those of a human, like they orginially thought.
This after Portsmouth Police and the Portsmouth Daily Times got identical letters that were very specific about the location of the bones. The anonymous lletter referred to a body being buried in late 1964.
Investigators found the bones Friday night at a house in the 2200 block of Vinton Avenue in Portsmouth. After the discovery Portsmouth Police called forensic investigators from Cincinnati to take a closer look. Investigators say at this point the case is closed, unless they get more information from the person who wrote those letters. "The information contained in the letter indicated the person knew exactly what they were talking about," Portsmouth Police Detective James Charles said.

The bones were determined to be canine by a forensic anthropologist, per the Daily Times. Leave it to Portsmouth to have the first fun story years turn out lame-o.... *sigh* What the heck is someone doing sending in letters like they know what's there if it's just a dog?

The letter writer probably buried the dog years ago and then wrote the letter just to see what excitement he could stir up.
People like to have some attention now and again, and some will go to extraordinary lengths in order to get it--but I expect that everyone knows all about that.
