Around midnight Tuesday, Sept. 27, authorities responded to the area of Brock Bridge Road and Tribeca Trail for reports of a car fire that was found about 100 yards off of the roadway engulfed in flames in the middle of a field, according to Anne Arundel County police.
Once the flames were put out, police found a charred body in the backseat of the vehicle. The body was so badly burned that the sex, race, and approximate age are unable to be determined.
The manner of death is pending an autopsy, and police are investigating this incident as a "suspicious death".
Homicide detectives are asking anyone with any information to call 410-222-4700.
