Police, FBI digging at Detroit property
DETROIT (FOX 2) - Police and members of the FBI are digging at a Detroit property Monday morning.
Authorities are digging next to a home on Oregon Street near Beechwood Street, west of I-96. The dig has involved an excavator and hand-sifting through the soil.
The FBI released a statement saying, "I can confirm that personnel from the FBI in Michigan are present today, April 13, 2026, on Detroit's west side, conducting law enforcement activities. There is no current threat to the public at this time."
Neighbors were unsettled at the scene and spoke about rumored findings.
"Police were stationed here all last night," said Tiara Owens. "Once again, the (human) remains were found yesterday afternoon between four and five o'clock to my knowledge. A human's head, some type of skull was found, that's what was reported … I got that through the neighbors.
"It's a sad situation because we've never had the FBI on this block here, ever."
