Tests yield details about skeletal remains found in Brick

Tests on the remains of a body found in a wooded area off Herbertsville Road earlier this week have provided some clues, but police are still attempting to identify the deceased.
The remains - which included a skull and torso - are likely those of a woman between the ages of 60 and 80 who died approximately one year ago, police said. Tests performed by Donna Fontana of the State Police's Forensic Sciences Unit revealed the woman was between 4-feet, 8-inches and 5-feet, 1-inch tall with brown hair and weighing between 90 and 130 pounds.
In addition to the decomposed remains, police recovered a green long-sleeve shirt, black pants, a black leather "Arlette" brand jacket, brown wool gloves and white-laced shoes with a heart impression on the heel.
The victim also had a key ring with a cartoon picture with the word "scrooge" printed on it, police said.
A cause of death has yet to be determined and additional examinations and a further review of missing persons reports are pending, police said.
