NJ Police Seek Help in Identfying Remains Found in Camden in December

The man's body was found off I-676 near Morgan Boulevard.

Camden County Prosecutor Warren W. Faulk and Camden County Police Chief Scott Thomson released photographs they hope will help identify the remains of a person found off Interstate-676 in December on Monday.

They also hope the photographs, attached to this post, will help identify the cause of death.

The remains of an 18 to 25-year-old male were found at 3:51 p.m. Dec. 20, 2013, off I-676 near the intersection of Morgan Boulevard and Broadway. The remains were found in a red trash bin. Authorities are seeking anyone who can identify this bin and provide information on where it came from.

The body found in December was that of a man who stood 5 feet, 7 inches tall, weighed 150 to 175 pounds and had extensive dental work, including four crowned front teeth. He was found wearing a light gray hooded sweatshirt. Officials previously speculated his body may have been in the location in which it was found for as long as a year.

Authorities are urging anyone who may have information on the man’s identity to contact Camden County Prosecutor’s Office Detective Terry King at 609-820-7113 or Camden County Police Detective Shawn Donlon at 856-757-7420.
