UPDATE:

Remains of two people found at Flint park, IDs remain unknown

FLINT, MI -- Multiple police agencies are investigating after human remains were found Tuesday afternoon at Broome Park on the city's south side.

Michigan State Police Lt. David Kaiser confirmed law enforcement are combing over the park off Atherton Road. A Genesee County Sheriff's deputy blocked off the park's entrance.

More than two dozen police officers, detectives, and a Michigan State Police K-9 unit have responded to the scene.

An MTA bus could be seen at the park at one point as police marked off items with orange cones in a parking lot.

Ed Benning, MTA general manager, said a maintenance person that cleans out bus shelters had stopped off to buy a sandwich near the park on his lunch break "and noticed something and called to report it."

"He'd seen something that appeared to be something from Halloween," said Benning. "He noticed the remains were there, partially intact."

In his 30-plus years with MTA, Benning said: "This would have to be something we've never experienced before."

Flint resident James Beatty, who was also at the park Tuesday, didn't quite believe what he'd seen after coming upon what he described as two human skulls -- one in the parking lot and one in a field near a baseball diamond.

The 49-year-old Beatty walks his dogs in the park on a regular basis and had not spotted the remains prior to Tuesday morning. Once coming upon the remains, he knew what he'd seen.

"I know enough about anatomy to know they were real, that it wasn't a Halloween joke or anything," Beatty said. "I just hope that whoever they are, whoever's family is looking for them get some closure."

Police declined to release any further information on the investigation.
