You don't have to be so mean. I have known her for 25 years and she is a wonderful person. I find it hard to just call the police on her, so I am in a moral fix. THAT IS WHY I POSTED IT HERE. Freerepublic has lawyers and other professionals that might offer some good advice.

It also has more than its fair share of kooks and weirdos.

I don't know what the poster said that was mean, but you NEED to report the skull, ASAP. There is no room for equivocation on this, and you don't need to worry about the neighbor. She is in the wrong, and she must know it. You don't just find a human skull and not look into it. What if it belonged to someone's missing daughter?

Moral fix?
I don't think so.
You are conflicted between what is moral and ticking off someone who has a dog that drags home the dead.
The moral issue is clear - call the police.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and state that you don't need advice from a lawyer or other professional regarding a human skull dragged home by a dog. So you've known your neighbor for 25 years - that doesn't negate the fact that this find needs to be reported. Maybe you can convice your neighbor to report it, that it could be a homicide, suicide or missing person. It's important! I'd also tell her that if she doesn't report it, that you will. Someone could be wondering what happened to their loved one, and that loved one's head is on your neighbor's fence post!

Mean? Sheez, this should be a no-brainer.

I find it hard to just call the police on her

The former occupant of that skull has family and friends who have been going bonkers for months if not years wondering what happened to that person. Screw your neighbor's feelings, think of THEIRS.

Goodness. You wouldn't help her get rid of a body if she asked you would you? Might want to mention to her she is probably breaking the law for not reporting it.

Just don't tell the police that she wants to put it on her fence. They don't need to know that if you don't want to get your neighbor in trouble. Just report the find - they will investigate.

Well, have a talk with her. Explain it could be a missing person someone cares about and ask her to call the cops and the part about her putting it on the fencepost can be just between you, her and the internet.

If she refuses you really have to bite the bullet & do it.

Jilley, I realize you've known this woman for more than 25 years, but ask yourself, "Would you want someone else to be treating HER skull this way?"

For some reason, you suspect your wonderful neighbor has done something wrong?
Why is that?
You think the head might just belong to her long, lost hubby?
Don't ya!
