WASHINGTON — Montgomery County police are investigating human remains found in a Germantown field Monday.
On Monday afternoon, a person was walking in a field located in the 12600 block of Great Seneca Highway in Germantown when he noticed what he believed were human bones. After police were notified, officers responded and located the skeletal remains.
