Construction workers fixing up a vacant Overbrook property discovered human bones inside the home.
The discovery was made Thursday afternoon on the 800 block of N 63rd Street.
The bones were found behind a wall contractors were removing, authorities said.
The remains were possibly there for years, investigators said.
One foot even still had a sock on it, they added.
It’s unclear whose remains they are and how the bones ended up behind the wall.
