ROCHESTER, Mass. (TCD) -- Massachusetts State Police were called in to investigate after an infant’s remains were discovered at a recycling facility in the eastern part of the state.
On Thursday, Nov. 9, at 10:40 a.m., Rochester Police Department officers responded to a recycling facility after a caller reported that employees "found what appeared to be the body of a human baby in the recycling products."
Rochester Police said the facility stopped all processing following the discovery.
