Police in Nova Scotia are asking for the public’s help as they investigate a bizarre case that started with a home invasion and ended with the discovery of unidentified human remains in a burned-out van.
The RCMP say they were called to a home in Wolfville early on Sunday after two people entered a home where two residents were sleeping.
