The Oneida police chief tells NEWSChannel 2 that the bones appear to be human. He said the forensics team is going to remove the bones found yesterday near Canal Road and sift through the dirt to see if more bones are buried.

Not far from me. I hope that they are able to put a name on this UID and bring peace to a family quickly. I see so many these days that remain unidentified. Seems crazy given our technology and the WWW.

They have found a full skeleton now.

There is also Heidi Allen who disappeared from the county next door.

Thanks for the update. I was watching, but had not seen anything additional until now.
 
Kind of hard to even guess who it could be without even knowing how long the bones have been there.
 
I haven't been able to find any more information. Hopefully soon they will give an update.
 
Thank you. I am glad he has been identified.
 
I'm putting up his Charley Project page so that it will still be available after Meaghan closes the case.

Murray, circa 2008

Missing Since: March 22, 2008 from Syracuse, New York
Classification: Endangered Missing
Date Of Birth: February 28, 1967
Age: 41 years old
Height and Weight: 5'11, 145 - 155 pounds
Distinguishing Characteristics: Caucasian male. Brown hair, blue eyes.

Details of Disappearance
Murray was last seen at his family's residence in the 100 block of Sabine Street in Syracuse, New York at 3:30 p.m. on March 22, 2008. He said he was going to his son's lacrosse game, which he never missed, but he never arrived there and has never been heard from again. Murray left behind all his personal belongings. His car, a red 1994 Pontiac Firebird with New York license plates numbered EGK 9024, is also missing.

Murray may frequent the New York cities of Warners, Elbridge and Auburn; he has family and friends living there. It's uncharacteristic of him to leave without warning. Few details are available in his case.
 
RIP Mark. My condolences to his family and friends. I hope that punishment for this crime is swift.
 
Well, that was blessedly swift. If only ALL UID's spent so little time as UID.

It makes sense that he was from Syracuse, since Oneida's just down the main interstate out of town. That his car hasn't been found seems to indicate foul play, doesn't it? Rather than suicide. Perhaps a carjacking.

Yeah, probably carjacking and strip all parts to nothing left from somewhere. It's awfully for him to lose his life for the car someone killed for.

Recalling the words "I love you" that Chauncey "Champ" Winchell's son called out to his father in court as he was found guilty of killing Mark Murray, Judge Dennis McDermott was certain Murray's own son yearned to be able say those words to his dead father.

On Wednesday, McDermott sentenced Winchell to life in prison without the possibility of parole and more than 130 more years for nine other crimes relating to the murder of the 41-year-old Syracuse man.

Murray's family was satisfied with the sentence the 51-year-old received. Daniele Wilson said Winchell had been friends with her brother for nearly 20 years, but showed more interest after her brother was awarded a big workers compensation settlement...

Wilson still wonders what happened that day between Murray and his supposed friend. Evidence at the scene showed that her brother was wearing nothing but underwear and socks when he was shot multiple times in the head. She hopes he didn't suffer, but no one will ever know.
