On March 28, NFPD Criminal Investigation Division was made aware of the possibility that human remains were hidden in the basement of 2419 Orleans Ave. Detectives from both Crime Scene and Criminal Investigation responded and discovered human remains found boarded up under the basement stairs.
Those remains were collected and transferred to Erie County Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy.
Richard Fox, who has been charged in Erie County with two homicides, did reside at the Orleans property and is a person of interest in this investigation.
Because of the condition of the remains the Identity and cause of death are still under investigation.
This investigation is very active. Anyone with information on Fox or any of his acquaintances are asked to contact NFPD at 286-4553 or 286-4711
