The body was found at 5PM on Emleys Hill Road in Upper Freehold, New Jersey, inside a suitcase. His death is considered suspicious, but not a homicide. Police believe he died of an overdose of alcohol and heroin and those with him panicked and dumped the body. The absence of warm clothing pointed to the possibility that the man died indoors and was transported to the location. The body had not been there for a long period of time because the bag was on top of the most recent snowfall.

New Jersey hunters find body in suitcase

December 9, 2002

UPPER FREEHOLD, N.J. — Monmouth County authorities are trying to determine the cause of death of a man whose body was found inside a tweed suitcase.

The cause could not be determined through an autopsy, and officials were waiting on toxicology test results, said Monmouth County Prosecutor John Kaye.

Two hunters hiking through pine trees on Saturday found the suitcase and called 9-1-1, Kaye said. There were no visible signs of trauma on the man, who had no identification and no scars or tattoos.

The man was described as Hispanic and in his mid-20s. He was 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighed 150 pounds and was dressed in jeans, a shirt and socks.

Kaye said the body was likely left after Thursday night because the wheeled luggage lay on top of the snow.

The body was found a few miles from Interstate 195, near the entrance of Perretti Farms, home to two winners of the Hambletonian and the breeder of McArdle, the 2002 New Jersey Standardbred Horse of the Year.

Hunters discover body stuffed in suitcase

Bag discovered off Emley’s Hill Road, a few miles from I-195

Hunters in a snow-covered patch of trees in Upper Freehold made a grisly discovery when they stumbled upon a dead body stuffed into a brown-tweed suitcase on Saturday evening.

According to Monmouth County First Assistant Prosecu-tor Robert A. Honecker Jr., the two men, whose identities were not released, found the body of the unidentified young man in the oversized bag at approximately 5:45 p.m.

Authorities were unable to determine the cause of death from an autopsy performed Sunday, he said, noting that there were no obvious signs of trauma on the body. Results of a toxicology test are pending.

Honecker described the man, who was in his late teens to early 20s, as Hispanic, 5 feet 11 inches in height and weighing 150 pounds, with a 2-inch scar approximately 2 inches above his left ear.

He was wearing blue jeans, a white T-shirt, and a Chicago White Sox jersey, but was without shoes, socks or a coat.

The absence of warm clothing pointed to the possibility that the man died indoors and was transported to the location in which the bag was found, he said.

The section of the township where the body was discovered is a few miles from Interstate 195, which runs from Trenton to the coast.

"We suspect that the body had not been there for a long period of time because the bag was on top of the most recent snowfall," Honecker said.

The body was found in an area near the entrance of Perretti Farms, between a pond and Emley’s Hill Road. Perretti Farms is the home to two winners of the Hambletonian — a prestigious national harness racing contest — and the breeder of McArdle, the 2002 New Jersey Standardbred Horse of the Year.

According to Honecker, after opening the bag and seeing the body, the hunters called 911. The New Jersey State Police responded to the scene.

On Monday, Honecker said that the authorities were still attempting to learn the man’s identity by entering the man’s fingerprints and his description into state and national police databases.

The New Jersey State Police and the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit are investigating the incident.

Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact the New Jersey State Police Hightstown Barracks or the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office at 1-800-533-7433.

Body dumped in woods still unidentified

By alison granito
Staff Writer

UPPER FREEHOLD — Little is known about the origins of a body found by two hunters last week in a wooded area in Cream Ridge.

The body, which was found stuffed into a brown tweed suitcase and left in a patch of trees off Emleys Hill Road on Dec. 7, remained unidentified at press time. On Monday, an official from the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office said that there was no updated information to release on the case. Last week, the New Jersey State Police released a physical description and a police sketch of the victim.

"We are still trying to identify him and hope that the public can help us do that," state police spokesman Sgt. Kevin Rehmann said Thursday.

The young man in question was described as Hispanic, in his late teens to early 20s, approximately 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing about 150 pounds.

The man was wearing blue Levi’s carpenter-style jeans, a white T-shirt, a black Chicago White Sox baseball jersey, and a black rod and bead necklace, according to officials. Last week, authorities said that there were no obvious signs of trauma to the body and that an autopsy performed on the man failed to yield a cause of death. Results of a toxicology test are pending.

The area where the victim was found is located just south of Interstate 195, which runs from Trenton to the coast.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call state police Hightstown Barracks Detective Bureau at (609) 448-0074 or the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office at 1-800-533-7443.

Authorities investigate bones found in woods

Officials await results of autopsy performed in Freehold on Monday


BY JENNIFER KOHLHEPP
Staff Writer


In December 2002, near Emley’s Hill Road, two hunters found a suitcase containing the body of a man.

Authorities could not determine the man’s cause of death from an autopsy, but toxicology test results showed the presence of toxic levels of heroin in the victim’s system.

The man, who was in his late teens to early 20s, was Hispanic, 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighed 150 pounds. The victim had on blue jeans, a white T-shirt and a Chicago White Sox jersey, but was without shoes, socks and a coat.

According to the prosecutor’s office, the absence of warm clothing pointed to the possibility that the man died indoors and was transported to the location in which the bag was found.

Although authorities distributed a sketch of the man and investigated the matter for two years, the prosecutor’s office “administratively closed” the case in March 2003.

Kaye did not speculate on whether the two missing persons cases could be related.
