The body was located around 7:07 p.m. on Saturday, March 8, inside a white trailer at the intersection of 51st Street and Grays Avenue. The remains were in such an advanced state of decay that police have not yet identified the person’s age, gender, or cause of death.

How long the body had been inside the trailer or whether foul play was involved remains unclear. The investigation is ongoing, and new details will be released as they become available, police said.
