Forensic teams continue to scour an area of woodland where human remains were found two weeks ago .
Officers have been at the scene for two weeks, but remain tight-lipped about their extensive search
A 24-hour police presence has remained in the small village of Pentre-Llyn-Cymmer near Cerrigydrudion ever since a member of the public made the grim discovery on November 14.
A cordon has been erected and sheets of tarpaulin have been laid in a forest in a bid to preserve the scene.
Residents said they have been given little information other than being told that officers are there investigating a “historic incident.”
However details are yet to emerge about the forensic examinations carried out by pathologists on the seized remains.
Crime scene investigators said work is still ongoing to find out how long they had been there.
One resident, who did not want to be named said: “The remains were found around the time that the RAC Rally was coming through the village in mid-November and police have been there day and night ever since.
“Despite the bad weather, they have still been doing a lot of digging and there’s been a 24-hour police presence here.
' “It’s very spooky.”
The resident added: “I’m not sure if the officers are looking for more remains, but when one of the neighbours asked what was going on, they were told it was related to a historic incident and the policeman wouldn’t say anything else.
“It’s very odd.”
The Daily Post asked North Wales Police for further information about the investigation but a spokesman said any activity or further discoveries at the site would be made public.
Commenting on the initial discovery, a force spokesman said: “Crime Scene Investigators attended the scene. The remains have been removed and will be subject to examination by a pathologist.
“Forensic inquiries are also on-going to establish how long the remains had been at the location.”
Pentre-Llyn-Cymmer is located in Conwy county in an area of outstanding natural beauty close to Llyn Brenig and the Alwen Reservoir
