Authorities near Chilhowie have found human remains in the Jefferson National Forest.
They believe the skull and other bones may be the remains of 28-year old Stacy McCray.
She disappeared in November of 2002 after she left a friend's home in Abingdon.
Police found her car 10- days later in a downtown parking lot.
Her purse was found in the same area six months later.
Officials would NOT say what led authorities to the remains.
They were in a remote area past a locked gate in the Mill Creek community near the Smyth County line.
The remains are being brought to the state medical examiner's office in Roanoke today for identification.
