(Wheatfield, IN) - Authorities are waiting for test results to determine if bones recovered from a backyard grave in northwest Indiana are human. 

In Jasper County, police were seen digging in a yard in Wheatfield earlier this week.  According to police, that was in response to a report that someone talked about killing two of their undocumented children and burning their bodies in the backyard of a home.

On Monday, detectives searched the property with two cadaver dogs.  Police said the dogs alerted to three separate locations on the property where bone fragments were found.

Officials are waiting for confirmation on whether the bones belong to an infant or an animal.
