CLIP workers found a black duffle bag with juvenile remains inside while working on the 600 block of North 38th Street around 9:48 a.m.
Philadelphia police are investigating after a disturbing discovery was made Monday morning. Police say they confirmed that the body was a child aged 2–4 years old when officers arrived on scene.It is unclear how long the child's body was inside the bag, but police believe it was "probably a while.""The child was in a poor state of decomposition," said Philadelphia Police Inspector Kpana Massaquoi.MORE HEADLINES:The child's identity and exact age is not yet known.
The discovery of the body occurred just a few blocks from the 3800 block of Reno Street, where, back in January, police said they executed a search warrant in connection to a missing four-year-old boy, identified by family members as Damari Carter.Although Damari’s body was never found, investigators say they charged Carter's mother, 28-year-old Dominique Bailey, and 30-year-old Kevin Spencer with his murder, among other charges.
