Suspected Human Remains Found in Duffle Bags at Lincoln Park Lagoon

Suspected human remains were found Saturday morning in a Lincoln Park neighborhood lagoon.

Chicago Police were notified about 11 a.m. after fishermen at the lagoon, located in the 2200 block of North Stockton Drive, made the discovery inside a duffle bag, police said.

Members of the police Marine Unit responded and a second duffle bag was discovered with additional remains, police said. The remains in both bags were believed to be from the same person.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office will lead the investigation into the remains, police said.

Detectives were looking into missing persons reports for possible and leads as they conducted a death investigation.
