This is just like an episode of CSI.  

On Thursday, July 16, Burnaby RCMP responded to a call in which a 15-year-old boy and his mother reported finding human remains in the woods near Forest Grove Park, as per the police release. 

“

The boy and his friend told police they had been building a fort when they unearthed the remains.
