PORT TOWNSEND — Washington State Patrol and Port Townsend police are actively investigating an area near 909 Rosecrans St. but neither agency is releasing details into the situation.
“We are investigating a potential crime scene,” said Detective Jason Greenspane, who was on scene Thursday night.
“We likely will not have any information on this until tomorrow.
“Honestly, we’re not exactly certain what we’ve got here.”
Greenspane said Port Townsend police have been on scene since 11 p.m. Wednesday night.
The Washington State Patrol Crime Lab was called in shortly after.
The scene is located off of 9th Street, between Thomas and Logan Streets.
At 4:30 p.m. at least three Port Townsend police vehicles and three State Patrol vehicles were on scene.
The location was taped off and investigators were using a large green tarp to cover an area of the lawn next to a travel trailer.
At times, state investigators would lift the tarp to take photographs. Other investigators were seen entering the trailer and collecting items from the yard and placing them into black plastic bags.
Police Sgt. Ed Green said the department would likely wait until Friday morning to release an official statement
