A person was found dead in Lions Club Park north Campbellford on Saturday, but it’s not known yet if the body is that of Nicole Smith, who was reported missing eight months ago.
Northumberland OPP report officers were called at about 6:30 p.m. to the area of County Road 50, where human remains were discovered by citizens inside a wooded area.
Police said the investigation is in the early stages, and the identity of the remains is still unknown.
The Coroner attended the scene and the human remains have been sent to the Center of Forensic Sciences, where a post mortem examination will be conducted.
The investigation continues by members of the Northumberland OPP Crime Unit, Central Region Forensic Identification Services and Emergency Response Team under the direction of OPP Criminal Investigation Branch Inspector Brad Robson.
