Woman's skeleton found off Route 122 in Rutland

By Globe Staff

A woman's skeleton was found in a wooded area off of Route 122 in the central Massachusetts town of Rutland, the Worcester County district attorney's office said today.

The remains were discovered late yesterday afternoon by a bow and arrow hunter who was scouting the area to put up a blind, said district attorney's spokesman Tim Connolly. The man notified the Rutland police department.

Connolly said the body was found 200 yards off the road on land owned by the state Department of Conservation and Recreation.

State and local police are investigating.

The bodies of three women were found in Marlborough and Hudson, towns that are about 20 miles away, in 2003 and 2004.
