A Washington, D.C.,-area radio host received a phone call Tuesday from a man who said he found a dead body in Frederick, Maryland.
The bizarre call into “Elliott in the Morning” on DC101 came from a man named Joseph, who told the host it was not his real name, who described discovering the corpse roughly three weeks prior to the call. Police have not released any information on the victim and are investigating, WBAL TV reported.
“I sent Diane a few pictures of me exploring nature, and look what I came upon,” the caller told host Elliott Segal, who responded, “Dude, you found a dead body?”
WATCH:
Police confirmed the discovery of the body, which was in an advanced stage of decomposition, according to WBAL. “Joseph” told Segal he’d found the body in a wooded area which had a campsite that was part of a tent city.
“Dude, call the cops. Call the cops,” Elliot responded. “Are the remains still at that campsite?”
Police told WBAL there did not appear to be any threat to the public, nor was their investigation uncovering any foul play involved.
