A Columbia Police Department crime scene investigation van sits outside of the house where human remains were discovered on Wednesday at a neighborhood on the 2400 block of Bentley Court.The investigation began after MU police were called for a welfare check on a male student Tuesday around 5:30 p.m. at Hudson Hall, leading investigators to the crime scene.Police checking on the welfare of a University of Missouri student discovered smoldering human remains in a fire pit outside a north Columbia house.The probe led police to the 2400 block of Bentley Court, a neighborhood near Creasy Springs Road just east of Cosmopolitan Park, where they discovered the remains.MU spokesperson Christian Basi confirmed that the welfare check was for a white male student.“This morning I looked out my bathroom window and saw the crime tape was being put up.”Another neighbor, Xavier Scott, said he’s noticed traffic going in and out of the house, but is not familiar with anybody."
