An unidentified man is buried there whose body was discovered in a wooded area off Muller Road nearly 30 years ago.
According to Inspector Frank Nardone, the man was murdered (shot twice in the back of the head), and his body was buried in about two feet of dirt off Muller Road, near what was known as a "lover's lane" in 1975 (the entrance has since been blocked off with large hay bales).
Since that time, "We have had several leads, and they have all come up short," said Nardone.
Possible military connections
Reports indicate the body was discovered May 22, 1975, by two men who were in the Muller Road woods walking a dog.
"He was wearing an army field jacket, dungarees, and canvas sneakers with black socks," said Nardone. "Wearing black socks in those days usually meant you were associated with the military or law enforcement."
Police officials deduced at the time that the body had been buried there "anywhere between six months and a year."
The inspector added that there were several gold fillings in the man's mouth, and "the only people who had gold in their mouths in '75 were mostly military people."
Nardone also said the man was wearing a belt with a unique, Garrison-style buckle, and a medallion suggestive of association with a motorcycle gang.
