Human skull and other remains found in South Jersey

The case is under investigation by the Cape May County Prosecutor's Office

A human skull and other skeletal remains were found this week in a wooded area of Whitesboro, Middle Township.

The remains were found by a resident walking in the area on Tuesday, police said.

The Middle Township Police Department was called to the scene and began a search, finding the skeletal remains that police believe belong to an adult.

So far, it is unknown who the remains belong to. The Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office continues to investigate, with Prosecutor Jeffrey Sutherland writing on Facebook that “there is no threat to the public at this time.”
