Human Remains Found Underneath Dorchester Apartment Porch

BOSTON (CBS) – Police are investigating after human remains were found underneath a porch at Dorchester apartment. The discovery was reported Tuesday around 11:15 a.m.

A property manager on Fuller Street called police to report finding a large bone.

Homicide detectives responded to the scene to investigate.

"It's sad. Obviously, I don't know the circumstances of what happened here," said Evandro Carvalhno. "It's just traumatizing, really. So I feel for all of us, all of the neighbors."

Carvalhno, a former State Representative, lives on Fuller Street with his family.

"Hopefully they get to the bottom of it. I don't know if it's a homicide, it could be any number of things," he said.

It's unclear how long the remains were there.

Anyone with information is asked to call police.
