New Augusta, Mississippi — On New Year’s Eve in 2019, Perry County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the Little Creek Community due to a possible human skull a deer hunter found in a wooded area.

Deputies contacted the Hattiesburg Crime Scene Unit and they determined it to be a human skull. Cops searched the area where the skull was found in hopes to find more remains but didn’t. The skull was collected and sent to the state crime lab but was unable to determine who the skull belonged to due to lack of DNA.

On February 28, 2020, investigators decided to revisit the area where the skull was found and expand the distance to broaden the search. More than 40 volunteers conducted a grid search of the area to look for more remains.

After searching the area again, still nothing. After nothing was found, they searched the woods across the road and recovered more bones including two femur bones that we believe to be human bones.

The bones collected were sent to the Mississippi Crime Lab and results reveal that those bones are a 99.9% match to the DNA of Glenn Street.

Glenn Street was reported missing on February 21, 2017. With this new information, the case will be upgrading the case to a Homicide Investigation.

Deputies still ask that anyone who may have information that will help this case please contact the Perry County Sheriff’s Office at 601-964-8461 or Perry County Crimestoppers at 601-964-STOP(7867).
