An initial forensic analysis of human remains discovered during the excavation of a Wall residential construction site in March has indicated that there was no evidence of foul play involved, Monmouth County Prosecutor Raymond S. Santiago and Wall Township Police Chief Sean O’Halloran jointly announced today.

On Tuesday, March 12, members of the Prosecutor’s Office and the Wall Township Police Department responded to the 1100 block of Narrumson Road, where work had just begun on a foundation for a new home. The scene was secured, and over the following days, soil at the site was examined and skeletal remains uncovered and preserved for analysis.

The analysis of the remains, performed by an anthropologist with the New Jersey State Police Forensic Anthropology Unit, revealed that the bones belonged to multiple people. While the precise age of the remains cannot be determined with a high degree of accuracy, the anthropologists believed that the remains are those of elderly people.

Additional information about this case will be released as it becomes available.
