"The discovery was made behind a vacant school near Awbury Arboretum in Germantown, an area that was the focus of an intensive search on Wednesday. First Deputy Commissioner John Stanford said a "very specific" anonymous tip came in overnight, and officers were back out at the scene around 10 a.m. Sources also tell Action News they recovered surveillance video evidence linked to the case at a nearby Recreation Center."
"The remains, which Stanford said appeared to be those of a female, were found in a shallow grave in a heavily wooded area. The remains are now being handled by the medical examiner's office, which will also handle identifying the person who was found. Stanford said investigators have been in touch with Scott's family. "We have been in communication with her family as to this process and in the fact that we have recovered a human being," he said."
