The Courier-Post article (
http://www.courierpostonline.com/st.../23/possible-human-head-found-brick/82158088/) mentions a
case last year (April 2015, I think) where a fragment of a skull was found washed up on the beach at Island Beach State Park, which appears to be about 40 minutes south of Brick on the barrier island. (They did get DNA from the fragment:
https://identifyus.org/en/cases/13728. It's not Julia Madsen. Excellent article with lots of information about DNA processing and procedures.)
The picture (attachment) shows the skull they just found with a piece of bone beside it; I don't know whether that's the piece mentioned in the other article or if it's a piece of the recent find.
There's another bone fragment from Ocean County last November. Looks like it's been submitted for DNA that isn't back yet:

Map with the location of the three bone fragments; I put in a route though if the fragments are all from the same person, I'd imagine they all washed in from the same spot.
