Questions remain about mass grave...


The search for answers continues in Schuylkill County after a mass grave with human remains was discovered at a construction site along Route 61 in Schuylkill Haven. 

It's believed the site holds the remains of flu victims from the early 1900's. Schuylkill County coroner Doctor David Moylan says investigators want to find out if more remains are buried at the site.

 Ground penetrating radar is expected to be brought in next week with the goal of mapping out the sight to determine how extensive the burial ground is. 

Dr. Moylan says they hope to identify the remains and hopefully contact families.
