Queens, NY – Authorities in Queens are investigating human remains found next to the East River, WABC-TV reports.
Sources tell Eyewitness News that police have notified the family of 14-year-old Avonte Oquendo, a missing boy with autism who disappeared in October, about the investigation.
Avonte remains possibly found
The remains found Thursday evening around 7 p.m. were said to be a human arm and legs and were found on a rock in the water near the College Point Yacht Club, the report said. Police responded to a 911 call after a 14-year-old girl stumbled across the body parts.
Search
Helicopters searched the waters for additional body parts but the search had to be suspended when the tide quickly came in, the report said. The search resumed at daybreak.
Avonte’s mother, Vanessa, is skeptical the remains found belong to her son, according to a report from Pix 11 news.
Avonte was last seen leaving his high school in Queens on Oct. 4.
