HOUSTON – Houston Police say skeletal remains have been discovered in a field in the Clear Lake area.

According to Lt. Larry Crowson with HPD, the remains were found in a wooded area on Moonrock Drive and Bay Area Boulevard. The location is not far from the Johnson Space Center or Clear Lake High School.

Details are limited due to how active the investigation is, but police tell KPRC 2 they were called to the scene just before 7 p.m. Homicide detectives confirmed the remains are human, but it’s unclear how long they’ve been out there.

It’s also unclear who the remains belong to and what the cause and manner of death is.
