PEMBROKE — The Maine Medical Examiner is working to identify two sets of human remains pulled from the waters of Cobscook Bay.
Maine Marine Patrol Lt. Dale Sprowl says one set of remains was pulled from the bay in the town of Pembroke last month, the other last week.
Five fishermen have been lost in the bay since March 2009. One body was never recovered and parts of two other bodies are missing.
Maine Medical Examiner Dr. David King tells the Bangor Daily News the families of the lost fishermen have provided DNA samples for testing, but some do not want to know if the remains belong to their loved one.
King says it’s possible the remains are not those of the lost fishermen.
