Police in Monmouth County are asking for the public’s help in identifying skeletal remains found recently near a bridge that collapsed.
The bridge on Ramtown-Greenville Road collapsed from the flooding during the heavy rain a couple of weeks ago.
As construction workers began looking into repairing the bridge, they stumbled across the skeletal remains.
Police have provided multiple items in an effort to help identify these human remains.
The items include a memorial wrist band for Kyle Guidice, who died in Nov. 2008, a Hybrid brand zip-up hooded sweatshirt, and a watch.
Police also found pants-size 32/32 with a black belt, Nike sneakers size eight and a dental bridge in the upper four teeth.
“We feel pretty confident that everything that we discovered that we put out there to try to help us identify the decedent belonged,” says Det. Sgt. Christian Antunez. “It was on his or her person at the time.”
An autopsy will be done in order to determine if the person was male or female.
“There’s going to be DNA testing, an autopsy, obviously it was only bones at this point there was nothing else left to determine gender,” says Antunez. “Right now, we have nothing to suggest that there was a crime here. We don’t know that can turn out to be the case that may not be the case.”
Anyone with any information about the remains or the identity of the person is asked to call Detective Andrea Tozzi at 800-533-7443 or Howell Township Police Department Detective Corporal Nancy Carroll at 732-938-4111.
Monmouth County Crime Stoppers is offering up to $5,000 for information.
