PITTSBURGH — Police are trying to determine if decomposed remains found in a wooded area near Interstate 279 are those of a woman whose car was found wrecked and abandoned on the highway last week.

Police say the remains found Wednesday afternoon must still be identified. The remains were found about 300 yards away, and below a stretch of the interstate where 57-year-old Janet Cervone's car was found crashed and unoccupied near the Carnegie on-ramp about 3 a.m. Aug. 3.

Callers who reported the crash say a woman was in the car, but nobody was there by the time rescue crews arrived.
