Murder investigation underway after skeletal remains found in burned Michigan outbuilding
EATON COUNTY, Mich. (FOX 2) - A fire investigation shifted to a murder investigation after authorities found skeletal remains once a fire was extinguished in Eaton County last month.
According to the Eaton County Sheriff's Office, fire crews and deputies were dispatched to a home in the 10000 block of E. Vermontville Highway in Windsor Township, which is south of Lansing, just after 3 p.m. Feb. 10. They arrived to find two outbuildings on fire.
Once the flames were out, authorities discovered skeletal remains in one of the buildings. Late last week, the Michigan State Police Crime Lab determined that the remains were of 38-year-old Lance Pollo, of Lansing.
