DOVER, Del. - Human remains were found in an overgrown area near a retention pond in Dover earlier this month, according to Dover police.
Dover police say around 1:30 p.m. on Aug. 4, a grounds maintenance worker was mowing in the area of West North Street and Banning Street, when they found the human remains.
Police say they were in an "advanced state of decomposition," which limits the amount of information they were able to figure out. But, they add at this time, they do not see obvious signs of foul play. They say investigators learned the area was last maintained about 13 months ago.
On Aug. 11, police announced the body had been identified as Tiffany Pendexter, 37, of Dover. Investigators say there is still no signs of foul play or any indication of a threat to the community.
The remains were turned over to the Delaware Division of Forensic Science's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, and police are awaiting the results of that examination. The case remains under investigation.
