BURLINGTON, ON. A pile of clothing sitting on sand at the Beachway Park led Halton Regional Police to begin an investigation and a search in the immediate area.
Clothing was found in a pile in Beachway Park – police searched land and water – no body recovered and no missing report filed.
Along with clothing there was some personal property as well but nothing to identify the owner.
