http://www.njherald.com/article/20160505/ARTICLE/305059983# The most recent article I found about it.

"Agent Paul Merkler of the Morris County Prosecutor's office on Wednesday said the bones -- which have yet to be identified as human or animal remains -- recovered near the pond are "under forensic examination by the New Jersey State Police.""It is unknown how long it will take to complete the examination," Merkler said."

So I'm assuming there wasn't a skull? That would tip them off pretty quickly.

Maybe connected to that skull found in brick?

Dylan Bright was reported missing from Newton, NJ June 29, 2015.

He is not widely known as missing (I don't think), but, also not found per this post I saw today. I don't see him in Namus.

Did anyone see information in the news article on the possible year of death? I didn't. I contacted the article writer to see if he was ever ruled out as this UP.

No idea

apearn · Nov 16, 2016

he was found dead over a year ago.

??

They dated that article today. Ugh!

apearn · Nov 16, 2016

Oh wait. I think I misunderstood. I thought you meant Dylan was found deceased. He is still missing.

I was wondering if the bones had a probable year of death as in....1980-1990, or some such thing. As in, did they predate his disappearance.

Not sure if that is the same Dylan Bright. I am in contact with his family as of this afternoon. One of those finder sites shows that he was arrested on a parole violation in Sussex county on 6/29/15 but his mother says that information is definitely wrong. The family called the jail mentioned and he is not in the jail. No sign that he had been released, either. Not quite sure what's going on with that.

KaylaraOwl · Nov 18, 2016

Ok, after checking, it looks like that is him. He also has charges from Sussex and Morris County. I believe the grandmother is currently working on getting him entered into namus and may be speaking to the police about checking his DNA against this UID. I will let you know if I hear anything. In the meantime I am still attempting to search for him in jail records.

KaylaraOwl · Dec 16, 2016

Dylan has been added to Namus, and I believe is being compared to this uid. https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/36246/0

cvaldez1975 · Dec 16, 2016

So it looks like he had been arrested at the time of his disappearance, then maybe disappeared when released?

If his partial skeletal remains were found in a pond, was he dismembered? Or was it a tidal pond or something?

KaylaraOwl · Dec 16, 2016

My understanding is that he was not arrested on the parole violation.

Unfortunately, it looks like it was him http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/njherald/obituary.aspx?n=dylan-bright&pid=183987219&fhid=6064

KaylaraOwl · Feb 7, 2017

I guess the police released the information, I just found an article. http://www.njherald.com/20170207/bones-found-in-netcong-identified-as-former-newton-hs-student

I'm marking this Match!, as it looks like Apearn spotted the match, and Kaylara Owl was instrumental in getting his family in touch with authorities regarding this MP and this UP before he was even entered to NamUs.

Congrats, both of you.
