Memorial Bracelet, Dental Bridge Found With Howell Skeleton

HOWELL, NJ — Authorities are hoping personal effects found with skeletal remains found near a damaged bridge in Howell will lead them to the identity of the person.

The Monmouth County prosecutor's office released photos of the items Wednesday evening, including a memorial wristband for Kyle Guidice, who died in November 2008 at the age of 16; a Casio watch, a Hybrid brand zip-up hooded sweatshirt, pants size 32/32 with a black belt, and Nike sneakers in size 8. The person also had a dental bridge on four upper teeth that was found with the bones, the prosecutor's office said.

The prosecutor's office did not release more information, but said Monmouth County Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the identity of the person.

Anyone with information can call the Crime Stoppers confidential telephone tip-line by calling 1-800-671-4400; can text "MONMOUTH” plus their tip to 274637; or, they can email a tip via the website at www.monmouthcountycrimestoppers.com.

Information regarding the identity can be given to Detective Andrea Tozzi of the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office at 800-533-7443, or to Detective Cpl. Nancy Carroll of the Howell Township Police Department at 732-938-4111.

The remains were discovered Tuesday afternoon by land surveyors doing work in the area of the bridge on Ramtown-Greenville Road that partially collapsed as a result of the Aug. 13 storm, police said. They were found in a wooded area near the bridge.

An autopsy and examination was scheduled for Wednesday but no information was released on the findings, officials said.
