The search for a missing East Haven mother has led police to human remains in a neighboring town, police said.
Investigators discovered the remains in a shallow grave in a grassy area at the edge of a Branford restaurant parking lot, East Haven Capt. Joseph Murgo said Wednesday night. Police zeroed in on the area behind some Dumpsters at LoMonaco’s Ristorante, 990 West Main St., when they noticed some dirt that looked like it had been disturbed.
“The Connecticut State Police Central District Major Crime Squad responded and located human remains buried in a shallow grave,” Murgo said.
