The discovery of a body in a Westminster open space has drawn the attention of local law enforcement, following the initial find of what appeared to be human remains last week. According to The Denver Post, the body was found on Thursday morning near 122nd Avenue and Park Centre Drive, a location not far from where a passerby discovered a bone last Friday.
Further analysis of the scene was conducted when detectives, along with criminalists and a cadaver dog from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, responded to the area. CBS News Colorado reported that the body is believed to have been there for some time, and said, "detectives said the bone was found when the resident was walking along the trail on July 18." Investigations are continuing to determine the connection between the bone and the body.
The Westminster Police Department has assured the public that it will provide updates as the situation develops. KDVR provided a statement from the department, which indicated a community concern: "We understand incidents like this can cause concern in the community and we will continue to share updates as more information becomes available," the department conveyed.
