Woodridge police responded about 1:30 p.m. Saturday to a wooded area in the 7900 block of Lemont Road after two children out for a walk located what appeared to be skeletal human remains, according to a release from Sgt. Anthony Johnson.

Police, in cooperation with the DuPage County Coroner, the DuPage County Sheriff's Office Forensic Unit, and the Felony Investigative Assistance Team (FIAT), recovered evidence which was turned over to the DuPage County Coroner for further analysis.
