HOWELL – Human skeletal remains were found in woods along Ramtown-Greenville Road in Howell on Sept. 4 and law enforcement authorities are continuing their efforts to identify the individual.
Officers from the Howell Police Department and investigators from the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office responded to the location after skeletal remains were found by surveyors working at a bridge that was damaged in an Aug. 13 storm that dropped 7 inches of rain in two hours.
Ramtown-Greenville Road collapsed at a bridge between Arnold Boulevard and Moses Milch Drive.
On Sept. 5, the prosecutor’s office released a statement which said, “In regard to the human remains found (on Sept. 4) in Howell, members of the investigative team cleared the scene at approximately 2:40 p.m. (Sept. 5). Items discovered in the area included a Hybrid brand zip-up hooded sweatshirt, a memorial wrist band for Kyle Guidice, a watch, pants size 32/32 with a black belt, and Nike sneakers, size 8. There was a dental bridge in the upper four teeth of the decedent.”
Kyle Richard Guidice, the person named on the memorial wrist band, was a 16-year-old from Brick Township who died in November 2008.
