Human Remains Unearthed At Oakland Park Site
FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) - Human remains have been found at a site in Oakland Park after several days of digging by law enforcement.
The excavation was part of a criminal investigation by the Broward Sheriff's Office, working in conjunction with the FBI.

Broward sheriff's homicide detectives, working with the FBI and other federal and local agencies, are asking for anyone who might have seen, heard, or recorded something from that time frame in that area to share those details.
