Human Remains Found Along Glen Burnie Stream: Police

GLEN BURNIE, MD — The Anne Arundel County police are investigating the site in Glen Burnie where human remains were discovered on Tuesday night, according to a police spokesman. The remains have been taken to a medical examiner and have not been identified, Officer Marc Limansky said.

A woman was walking her dog in the 1400 block of Furnace Avenue on Tuesday night when she came upon the human remains behind a church and along the shore of Marley Creek, Limansky said. The woman immediately called the police.

Limansky said the remains are "a lower extremity," but he declined to elaborate.

The police have secured the scene, and on Wednesday, detectives searched the shoreline for evidence, the spokesman said.

On Thursday, they turned their focus to Marley Creek, with a dive team from the Anne Arundel Fire Department searching the waters, Limansky said. Officers from the Maryland Natural Resources Police are aiding the search, he added.

Patch will update this story as more information becomes available.
