Human skull found in Westport, Wash., crab pot

WESTPORT, Wash. (AP) - A King County anthropologist has confirmed that a partial skull found in a crab pot near Westport, Wash., is human.

A fisherman pulled it up Friday morning about 2 miles off the coast. The fisherman set the pot last week.

The station says officials are trying to identify the skull.
