SILVER SPRING TOWNSHIP, Pennsylvania (WGAL) — A large amount of blood was discovered on a street in a Cumberland County neighborhood, but where it came from remains a mystery.
The blood was found around 7:15 a.m. Saturday on Ashburg Drive in Silver Spring Township, not far from Cumberland Valley High School.
Police said the pool of blood was about 4 feet by 7 feet wide, and it was on the road and in the grass.
“The blood has presumptively tested as almost certainly human blood,” police said in a statement.
The injury likely occurred between midnight and sunrise Saturday, according to investigators.
Police said they checked with a nearby elder care facility and neighbors for anyone who is missing or unaccounted for without any success.
“This is clearly at least, at the minimum, a very serious injury involved. Somebody somewhere is the victim of that, not necessarily of a crime, but of that injury,” Chief Christopher Raubenstine said.
Police also recovered a pair of Rayban prescription glasses, but it’s not clear whether there is a connection to the blood.
