UNSOLVED NJ - Male body found on bank of Marmora marina, 24 Mar 2018

[Gardener1850]

UPPER TOWNSHIP — State Police said Thursday a man's body found Saturday at the All Seasons Marina has not yet been identified, due to the body's level of decomposition.

An autopsy has been completed, Lt. Ted Schafer said.

The body was recovered Saturday afternoon on the shore of the marina in the 500 block of Roosevelt Boulevard in the Marmora section of the township.

Sgt. Lawrence Peele said police were notified about 3:15 p.m. by a person who saw the body on the shore.
Police said later Sunday the body was a male, but the age was not available.

not very likely that this person is one of the two lost at sea 40 miles off the coast in my opinion. prevailing winds are north westerly this time of year or in general, though tidal flow and current are also factors in where those two end up. besides that, it seem unlikely that a body drifted in on the tide and ended up behind the barrier islands or in the back bays and creeks.

much more likely that this person entered the water in the back bays, creeks or rivers and drifted out towards the location where they were found by the marina. there may not be a ton of access points up tide or current from the location, but there are certainly bridges, boat ramps other locations where this person could have entered the water. or from a boat.

this location is not too far from where a foot belonging to a female victim was found in 2013.

Did the very bad late Feb/early March storm strike that area? Strong onshore winds pushed debris pretty far inland around MA and NH, though we don't have many barrier islands.

the march 2nd storm, which was the one with heavier winds i think, struck on the full moon, which would indeed produce very high tides and flooding.

the link no longer works. I never heard about this foot.. did they ever match a body to this foot?

I couldn't find these remains in Namus, but there was another body found a couple of weeks earlier in the same general area: Unidentified Person Case

New Jersey is usually pretty good about getting their cases into Namus, so I wonder if he's been identified.

i'm thinking if the body found in march 2018 was intact enough to ID as a male, it went into the water within no more than a few weeks to a month. i could be wrong on the known decay rates, but water would speed decomp for sure. thats not to say the 2017 missing person had to enter the water at that time, but if they did, i don't think this would be a likely match.

has anyone heard anymore about the located person in the orignal post?

skull found not too far downtide from all seasons marina. not clear if there was a skull with this UID...

Human skull found on Jersey Shore beach by person walking dog

there was also a missing fisherman/crabber from an inlet in the area. will need to look for that too, i don't remember the details, except it being a well-loved older gentleman.
