Third Dead Body Discovery Reported in Genesee County in 2026

Just under two weeks ago, we reported on a dead body discovered by two fishermen in a pond near Beecher High School. In March, the owner of newly purchased property in Thetford Township found human remains while surveying the land. That case has since been linked to an incident dating back to 2017.

This latest discovery comes after a string of bodies and human remains have been found across Michigan in recent months. While many residents have raised concerns online, officials say none of the cases, except for the Thetford Township discovery, appear to be connected.
