Discovered Skeleton Probe Remains Ongoing

So far, officials will only confirm remains found in Green Brook are male.

After hunters discovered human bones near Warrenville Road in Green Brook in January, medical examiner's office forensic investigators were tasked with trying to identify the source of the skeletal remains.

So far, the investigators have only revealed the bones are male, and as the investigation continues, no further details will be released, Somerset County Prosecutor's Office spokesman Jack Bennett said.

Investigators searching for potential matches of missing people have many resources to check, but several online sources of information on missing people list several from the area.
