The Valley View Ferry will be closed Wednesday as police continue their investigation following the discovery of possible human remains discovered in a vehicle in the Kentucky River.

Police tell LEX 18 the possible remains were found last week while they were pulling old vehicles from the water. One vehicle had been found in the water last year at the site. Over the weekend, firefighters decided to utilize the wreckage and conducted a training exercise that involved pulling the car up.

The first car broke in half and what appeared to be skeletal remains fell out of the vehicle.

A second car was also pulled from the water.

Former State Forensic Anthropologist Dr. Emily Craig is now working alongside the Fayette County Coroner’s Office on the case.

The ferry will be open from 6:00-8:30 a.m. on Wednesday for morning commuters, then it will be closed for the remainder of the day.

The ferry will be on regular schedule Thursday.

At this time police say it is not clear if the remains are connected with any of those vehicles or any particular investigation.

On Wednesday, divers say that they found more car parts but no bones. They say they hope to find a skull or a jawbone to help them identify the remains.

United States Attorneys Kerry B. Harvey and John E. Kuhn Jr., announced today that Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) Ken Taylor and Assistant United States Attorney Tom Dyke, will lead the efforts of their Offices in connection with the Justice Department’s nationwide Election Day Program for the upcoming November 8, 2016, general elections.  AUSA Taylor has been appointed to serve as the District Election Officer (DEO) for the Eastern District of Kentucky and AUSA Dyke has been appointed to serve as the DEO for the Western District of Kentucky, and in that capacity they are responsible for overseeing the Districts’ handling of complaints of election fraud and voting rights abuses in consultation with Justice Department Headquarters in Washington.

United States Attorney Kuhn said, “Ensuring free and fair elections depends in large part on the cooperation of the American electorate.  It is imperative that those who have specific information about discrimination or election fraud make that information available immediately to one of the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices, the FBI, or the Civil Rights Division.”

Every citizen has a right to vote without interference or discrimination and to have that vote counted in a fairly conducted election,” stated Kerry B. Harvey, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky.  “The Department of Justice will act promptly and aggressively to protect the integrity of the election process.”

The Department of Justice has an important role in deterring election fraud and discrimination at the polls, and combating these violations whenever and wherever they occur.  The Department’s long-standing Election Day Program furthers these goals, and also seeks to ensure public confidence in the integrity of the election process by providing local points of contact within the Department for the public to report possible election fraud and voting rights violations while the polls are open on election day.

Federal law protects against such crimes as intimidating or bribing voters, buying and selling votes, impersonating voters, altering vote tallies, stuffing ballot boxes, and marking ballots for voters against their wishes or without their input.  It also contains special protections for the rights of voters and provides that they can vote free from acts that intimidate or harass them.  For example, actions of persons designed to interrupt or intimidate voters at polling places by questioning or challenging them, or by photographing or videotaping them, under the pretext that these are actions to uncover illegal voting may violate federal voting rights law.  Further, federal law protects the right of voters to mark their own ballot or to be assisted by a person of their choice.

The franchise is the cornerstone of American democracy.  We all must ensure that those who are entitled to the franchise exercise it if they choose, and that those who seek to corrupt it are brought to justice.  In order to respond to complaints of election fraud or voting rights abuses on November 8, 2016, and to ensure that such complaints are directed to the appropriate authorities, AUSA/DEO Ken Taylor will be on duty in Lexington, while the polls are open.  He can be reached by the public at the following telephone numbers: (859) 685-4874 or (859) 321-9488.  AUSA/DEO Tom Dyke will be on duty in Louisville, while the polls are open. He can be reached by the public at the following telephone numbers: (502) 625-7042 or (502) 381-1886.

In addition, the FBI will have special agents available in each field office and resident agency throughout the country to receive allegations of election fraud and other election abuses on election day.  The local FBI field offices can be reached by the public at (859) 246-4700 in Lexington and (502) 263-6000 in Louisville.

Complaints about possible violations of the federal voting rights laws can be made directly to the Civil Rights Division’s Voting Section in Washington, DC by phone at 1-800-253-3931 or (202) 307-2767, by fax at (202) 307-3961, by email to voting.section@usdoj.gov
