Allegheny County police are investigating after human remains were found inside a car pulled from the Allegheny River in Oakmont.

Dispatchers received a call around 5:15 p.m. Sunday for a car found in the river near California Avenue.

A dive team was requested to assist. Once the car was recovered, detectives, along with the Medical Examiner’s Office, determined there were human remains inside.

Allegheny County police confirm the car belonged to Janet Walsh, who was 70 years old when she went missing from Shaler in January 2020.

The Medical Examiner’s Office is still working to identify the remains found inside and determine a cause and manner of death.
