Chicago Heights police seek clues after skeletal remains found in garbage can

A disturbing discovery in Chicago Heights after human remains were found inside a garbage can. A full investigation is now underway. Leslie Moreno is live there with more. Leslie, you have some new information and new images? Yeah, well, Anita, this is the third time human remains are found in trash cans in the Chicago area just this year alone. So there are a lot of questions here regarding who those remains belong to, how that person died, and whether there's a current threat to the community here. Take a good look at these images there on your screen. Chicago Heights police now asking for the public's help identifying this jacket. It was collected as evidence during the investigation. It is a members only XXL unisex Nickelodeon down style jacket. Police were out here just a couple of hours ago going door to door talking to anyone who may have seen, heard or smelled anything. Police say the discovery was made just before. At 4 noon on Sunday morning near Chicago Road in Elmwood Drive, officers responded after a resident reported finding what appeared to be human remains inside a garbage can. As we mentioned, this is the third time in the Chicago area in early July the remains of Zenobia Weatherspoon were found in a garbage can in the back of the yards. And later that same month, two legs and a portion of a skull were also discovered in a garbage can near East 68th. We spoke with several residents tonight, one of them telling us she just walked her dog near where those remains were found. It's scary because, yeah, nothing ever happens, especially on the north side of Chicago Heights over here on this first time. And I actually walked my dog here on the highway in the grass where the garbage can was found. And I was there Friday afternoon, late Friday afternoon. It was not there Friday afternoon. So it had to be sometime between, you know, Friday night and whenever they found it. An autopsy is now underway, this is all again under investigation. Police once again urging the public's help if you recognize that jacket or know anyone who may have owned a jacket like that, police want to hear from you. Anita.
