CALEDONIA, N.Y. -- A remote field in Livingston County became the scene of a homicide investigation.
The Livingston County sheriff says at 10:53 p.m. Monday they received a 911 phone call.
A couple driving along Lacey Road in Caledonia spotted a fire along the side of the road. Police say they pulled over and discovered it was a body and called 911.
Capt. Richard Allen from the New York State Police said the body was burned beyond recognition. They do not know the gender or age. Although it's a remote area surrounded by fields, police are hoping someone saw or heard something.
"We're asking any people in the area that seen anything suspicious between maybe 7 and 12 o'clock anywhere in this area, or around the Avon, Caledonia area as well. If they could contact state police at 398-4100. Any little thing would help us," said Allen.
Police were knocking on doors and used a drone to help search the area. The body was taken to the Monroe County Medical Examiner's Office. There's no indication how long it will take to identify the body.
