Body found near highway in Bremerton under investigation

In Bremerton, Washington, local authorities are conducting an investigation following the discovery of human remains near a highway. The body was found in a former quarry adjacent to SR 3, with the initial report made by a witness who called 911 around 11:30 AM on February 7. Detectives have determined that the remains were likely moved to the location after the individual had died, as there were no apparent signs of trauma or violence. This finding has led officials to reassure the community that there is no immediate threat to public safety. The Kitsap County Medical Examiner's Office is responsible for identifying the remains and determining both the cause and manner of death.

The deceased's identity will be released once it is confirmed and communicated to their family. As the investigation continues, authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward. This case underscores the importance of community vigilance in assisting law enforcement with ongoing investigations.
