Investigators brought in a backhoe Thursday to dig deeper for possible human remains.

Cadaver dogs identified an area off Ronald Reagan Boulevard and Dog Track Road, near Lyman High School, as a hot spot. The area is the former site of a neighborhood filled with deteriorating homes that were torn down last year. "They hit on a couple of hot spots," said Longwood police Officer Kevin Tuck, referring to the cadaver dogs. "We're looking at those hot spots, seeing if we can locate any remains."

Police said they believe this could be a criminal case, but would not confirm if there were any suspects identified.
