Police seek help in identifying remains

MIDDLETOWN >> In January 2016, hikers walking in a wooded area along a trail in Ridley Creek State Park discovered a body. Fully clothed and wearing cold weather attire, the remains are believed to be of a 25-40 year old white female, approximately 5’3” to 5’10” tall.

Numerous items were discovered near her body, including a green plaid blanket, black cloth gloves, a black Pacific Trail Jacket, size large, Gloria Vanderbilt blue jeans, three rings (a gold Irish Claddagh ring, a gold initial ring bearing the initial “C”, and a gold ring with the engraved initials of “C. A. or C.R.” on the interior), two backpacks (navy blue canvas bag, and a Route 66 black back pack), two pairs of shoes (size 9 black Totes boots, and size 9 grey and purple sketchers running shoes), and two empty pill bottles. She is believed to have died sometime in 2014.
