No ID For Human Skeletal Remains Found Near Westminster

The state medical examiner will attempt to determine the cause of death for skeletal human remains found Sunday in the woods off Tannery Road near railroad tracks outside Westminster.

No identifying information was found at the scene, according to Capt. Richard Hart of the Carroll County Sheriff's Office, which is investigating the case along with the Maryland State Police homicide unit.

Forensic units processed the scene Sunday, after the remains were discovered by people walking near the railroad tracks, Hart said. No form of identification was found, nor were police able to determine whether the remains are those of a male or female.
