DETROIT, MI (WXYZ) — Detroit Police say they made a shocking discovery in downtown Detroit Friday as construction crew stumbled upon skeletal remains while digging at the intersection of Fort Street and Cass Avenue.
Police said the discovery happened around 1:30 p.m.. The DPD Homicide Team responded and confirmed that the bones appear to be human.
Detroit police say the skull and right torso are still missing on the body so their search for other bones continues.
