Sheriff: Investigation underway after human remains found

OCALA, Fla. – Detectives are trying to find out how a second set of human remains ended up on a north Florida property.

On Tuesday, detectives and other officials excavated the lot and found human remains. It was the second set of remains found on the property. The remains of an adult male were found Feb. 2.

Sheriff’s officials said separate investigations are ongoing and the cases are believed to be unrelated. Few details about the case have been released.
