More Details on Human Remains Found in Camden

The Camden County Prosecutor's Office has additional forensic information about human remains discovered off a highway in Camden last week.

A forensic anthropologist has helped investigators uncover additional details about human remains discovered near I-676 and Morgan Boulevard in Camden City on December 20.

The individual in question is believed to have been a mixed-race male who was around 18 to 25 years old at the time of his death. He was found wearing a light gray hooded sweatshirt. 

The man was five-feet, seven-inches tall, weighing about 150 to 175 pounds, investigators report, and had undergone extensive dental work, including four crowned front teeth.

The identity of the man and the cause of his death have yet to be determined, although authorities say "the remains must have been at that location no more than a year."

Anyone with information is asked to contact Camden County Prosecutor’s Office Detective Terry King at (609) 820-7113 or Camden County Police Detective Shaun Donlon at (856) 757-7420.
