WASHINGTON — Montgomery County police say they discovered human remains in a shallow grave in a Germantown, Maryland, park earlier this month, and they hope a rosary and other personal items can help identify them.
The remains were found in early June in Seneca Creek Park on Black Rock Road.
The victim is a boy, and likely a Hispanic teenager between the ages of 15 and 17, police said. He may have been from the Hyattsville area.
Police believe he died in approximately February or March of 2017.
