Maryland Radio Show Caller Admits Finding Body in Woods but Not Alerting Police
A caller delayed reporting a body found 18 days earlier in a former homeless encampment, prompting Frederick police to recover the remains and launch an investigation.
- Following an on-air call Friday, Frederick police announced they found a dead body after a tip to DC101's 'Elliot in the Morning' show.
- A caller to DC101 said he found remains about 18 days ago while 'exploring nature' but had not alerted police, and the show host urged him to call authorities.
- The remains were found in a wooded area near East Street and Carroll Creek Crossing at a former 'tent city' site, and detectives are working to identify the deceased with autopsy results pending.
- Police said the investigation is ongoing and that there is no threat to the public; the caller made a morbid on-air remark about wanting to 'come upon something like that.'
- Multiple news outlets reported the case, including NBC News, Fox 5 DC and WBAL via CNN Newsource, but it remains unclear whether the caller ever directly contacted police, leaving questions as the probe continues.
