CLINTON TWP. — A fisherman’s hook snagged human remains at Round Valley Reservoir. Now law enforcement personnel are trying to find out who the victim is.

New Jersey State Police and the Hunterdon County Prosecutor’s Office are investigating the discovery of what they only described as “partial human remains." The reservoir, part of a state park, is mainly in Clinton Township, touching Lebanon.

Prosecutor Anthony P. Kearns III and the State Police issued a press release late Saturday afternoon announcing the discovery.

“The partial remains were recovered by a fisherman who reported his hooks snagged the remains. Authorities were contacted and retrieved the remains when the fisherman returned to shore,” the release said.

The Hunterdon County medical examiner took custody of the remains. The investigation continues to determine exactly where in the water the partial remains were recovered by the fisherman to determine if additional remains can be recovered to identify the victim.
