State Police open an investigation after the discovery of human remains.

Public Safety Spokesman Steve McCausland says the remains were found this morning.

Little detail has been provided other than to say the remains were discovered in a wooded area off Lincoln Street in the town of Richmond after information was called in last night to law enforcement.

The remains appear to be that of an adult, and State Police detectives are now working the scene and the remains have been taken to the state medical examiner's office for ID.
