More details are emerging about the bones found in a recently sold storage unit in Whitley County.
Sources tell LEX18 that the unit where the bones were found in was previously owned by Robert Wood.
His wife, Doris Anne Wood, was reported missing in Newark, Delaware, in 1997. Sources say investigators are working under the assumption the bones are those of Doris Wood.

Corbin Police confirm the bones are human and that they are female, but they are waiting on results from the medical examiner’s office to release more information. Police have not released any names.
A spokesman for the New Castle County, Delaware, police department confirmed investigators are working with Kentucky authorities in reference to the dissapearance of Wood.
According to missing persons databases, Wood was on her way to visit her sister in the summer of 1997, but she never arrived at the meeting point. She was never seen again.
The remains were found Thursday around 4 p.m. when a man was going through the contents of the storage unit he bought at an auction.
The person who called 911 told dispatchers the unit was sold after the owner supposedly had died. An obituary for Robert Wood, who moved to Alabama in the late 2000s, was published in the Corbin Times-Tribune newspaper in May 2013.
Whitley County coroner Andy Croley says the bones were found inside three small grocery bags at Pier Rental Storage in Corbin.
The remains were sent to Frankfort to try to determine an identity.
