Human Remains Discovered in Susquehanna County
POSTED 5:36 PM, MAY 9, 2017, BY PEGGY LEE, UPDATED AT 09:33PM, MAY 9, 2017

BRIDGEWATER TOWNSHIP -- State police in Susquehanna County say human remains were found in the woods in a rural area near Montrose.

Investigators say those remains were found around 11 a.m. Tuesday, but they are not saying much more.

Neighbors gathered along Meshoppen Creek Road in Bridgewater Township after hearing that human remains had been found in the woods just off the road.

“Now hearing human remains, it's just our neighborhood’s just a little on edge,” said Denelle Myers.

Many said hearing that the remains were discovered in their rural community has them unsettled.

“I had heard that they found human remains and I was really concerned about this. My family lives right here. We walk up and down this road all the time,” said George Miller.

“Anytime you find any kind of remains out in the community, it's got to worry you somehow because somewhere in the past one of your neighbors, you don't know them as well as you thought you did,” said Lonnie Swetter.

“It's a little unnerving, you know, a little kind of scary,” said Linda Book.

Even more troubling, people here say this is the second time human remains have been found in Susquehanna County in less than six months.

In January, state police say human remains were found in Choconut Township near the New York state line.

“And it's really concerning that there's this going on again after what they found on January 12 up in Choconut Township,” said Miller.

State police are saying little else and provided no specific details about the human remains, only adding that the “investigation is currently active and ongoing,” leaving people to speculate who it may be and what may have happened.

“There's a man from Johnson City that's been missing and there's also somebody from Binghamton that's been missing for quite some time now,” said Miller.

The Susquehanna County coroner says an autopsy on the remains is scheduled for 8 a.m. Wednesday.

ID on human remains found in Susquehanna County still pending
BY JOSEPH KOHUT, STAFF WRITER / PUBLISHED: MAY 10, 2017

A body discovered Tuesday in Susquehanna County belong to a tattooed man in his 30s, but additional testing is needed to link a name to the remains, the state police at Gibson said.

An autopsy conducted Wednesday could not determine an identity or cause of death for the remains found in the woods of Meshoppen Creek Road in Bridgewater Twp. on Tuesday morning, state police said.

Some additional features of the man were released Wednesday. The man was approximately 30 to 40 years old when he died and was roughly six feet tall and had a medium to large frame. He also had tattoos, state police said.

The man’s body was decomposed but not yet totally skeletal. He appeared to have been there for a “period of months” before a private property owner in the area discovered him at 11 a.m.

Additional forensic testing is needed, including DNA analysis and toxicology tests, to identify the man and determine how he died.

The state police forensically mapped the area and notified authorities in the southern tier of New York. On Wednesday, they also methodically searched the area where the remains were discovered with cadaver dogs but did not discover additional evidence, state police said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Gibson station at 570-465-3154.
