A man's body was found near a ballpark in Montgomery County on Sunday. Authorities believe it may have been there for several months. The body was located in a wooded area near Montevideo Drive, close to a school and neighborhood. The discovery was prompted by a 911 call from a driver who was flagged down by a distressed woman. She claimed her parents were being held hostage in the woods. This information led the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office to search the area, where they found the badly decomposed body. Local residents were shocked by the news. One man expressed concern for his children, saying it was alarming that such a thing could happen nearby. Investigators said the woman who found the body might be experiencing personal issues and was likely just walking in the area. The sheriff's office reported no clear signs of foul play. However, they are treating the case as a homicide until proven otherwise. They will also review missing persons reports to identify the body, but so far, no one has come forward to claim the man. The woman who discovered the body is not believed to be related to him.
