WASHINGTON — A Herndon resident found human remains on Sunday evening and police are working to determine their identity, according to a Fairfax County Police Department news release.
A resident found the bones next to a nature walk path in Difficult Run Stream Valley Path around 5:20 p.m. and called the police.
Officer Bud Walker with Fairfax County Police says detectives have been at the park since the discovery and are surveying the area for more clues.
A medical examiner determined the remains were human on Monday.
The identity of the bones, how long they’ve been at that location and the cause of death are under investigation. There’s no indication yet if the bones belong to an adult or child.
