HUDSON COUNTY — A bone found Thursday morning by construction workers in Lincoln Park, a county park in Jersey City, is believed to be a human femur bone, according to Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio.
DeFazio said the bone, found by workers doing construction on a new golf course, is only eight inches long with very little decay, and no flesh on the bone.
DeFazio said the Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Squad was notified by the Hudson County Sheriff’s Office, who answered the initial call after the bone was discovered.
DeFazio said the state’s Regional Medical Examiner’s Office in Newark is still doing testing on the bone. The Prosecutor’s Office Homicide Squad will not get a “definitive opinion” on the bone’s origin any time soon, he said. — RK
