Overview
- Workers renovating a multifamily house at 8 Glover Court in South Boston reported finding what they thought were human bones on Monday and police responded that afternoon.
- Officers recovered skeletal material from inside the home and collected nearby items, including a pair of shoes found in a bag.
- The recovered material was sent to the Massachusetts Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for species testing.
- The medical examiner concluded the bones were from animals, a finding the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office confirmed to reporters.
- Boston police say the investigation remains active as officials follow up on how animal remains and the bagged shoes ended up at the address; notifying the DA and sending material to the medical examiner are standard procedures in such cases.
