Channel 2′s Michele Newell spoke to neighbors who were shaken up to hear about the discovery.
“I’ve lived here about 17, 18 years,” Elizabeth Massey told
In all the years Massey has called the Lake Somerset neighborhood home, she has never stumbled upon something like this. Police scattered throughout the wooded area. Their cruisers lined up and down the street.
“I was going for my walk and I initially heard there was something going on, so I thought I’d walk down there. When I turned the corner I didn’t realize it was so close to the house. So my stomach immediately dropped,” Massey said.

It is unclear exactly how the person died at this time. The person has not been identified.
