20 Asbury Park Press Thurs. July 3, 1980 .-... ft f W k (2) Death is termed suspicious FREEHOLD The death . of an unidentified woman whose skeletal remains were found in a Neptune Township stream on Tuesday has been termed suspicious. Assistant Monmouth County Prosecutor Paul Chalet said an autopsy showed that the woman's skull had been fractured, but Medical Examiner Stanley M. Becker could not determine whether the blow was the primary cause of death. Little is known about the female who probably died about a month ago. She was white, younger than 30, stood about 5-feet-8, and weighed approximately 140 pounds, Chaiet said. Her hair was auburn, she was wearing slacks, and she carried a comb in one of her socks, he said. A man out for a walk found the body about 9:45 a.m. Tuesday In a stream behind the Shore Lanes bowling alley, Route 35, just south of the Asbury Avenue Circle. The body was lying face up, and the lower half of it was in the shallow stream. The upper half was reduced to a skeleton, Chaiet said. He said police did not know if the woman died where her corpse was found or was transported there. Neptune police and Investigators from the prosecutor's office worked on the case all day yesterday, checking reports on missing females for clues. Chaiet Indicated there was some difficulty identifying the body, but he declined to go into any details. The stream is located in a wooded area and Chaiet said a path transverses the spot where the corpse was discovered.
