Just after 10 a.m. dispatch received a call from the Babcock Ranch Community Patrol advising that a land development company had discovered skeletal remains while maintaining the preserve area on the east side of the community.

Major Crimes, FDLE, and our Forensics Unit are currently on scene to collect and preserve the evidence.
