Late last week, a hunter in a New Jersey forest discovered a human skull; this discovery prompted detectives to begin the task of identifying the remains.
The skull was discovered on February 23 in Manchester Township's
Brendan T. Byrne State Forest, according to
New Jersey State Police. Following the finding, troopers were called to an area along Route 70 at around 7 p.m., according to State Police Detective Jeffrey Lebron on Tuesday.
According to the Asbury Park Press on Tuesday, a cadaver dog was brought to the location where the skull was discovered on Monday in order to look for further body parts.
