A police investigation is underway after a bizarre call to a radio station led officers to a body in a wooded area in Frederick.

The caller told DC101’s “Elliott in the Morning Show” that he had found a dead body near East Avenue and Monocacy Boulevard almost three weeks ago.

Frederick residents hope police get to the bottom of what happened and why.

“I sent Diane a few pictures of me exploring nature, and look what I came upon,” the caller said on the show.

“Dude, you found a dead body?” the host replied.

The caller, who said his name was Joseph before saying that it is not his real name, told the hosts he found a dead body 18 days ago at a campsite in a wooded area in Frederick.

“Dude, call the cops. Call the cops. Are the remains still at that campsite?” the host asked.
