Chief Medical Examiner report: Human remains found in Wayne County are male, about 30-years-old :: WRAL.com

They've already determined its not Cole Thomas who went missing in 2016 . When I first heard the news yesterday I thought it could be Jessica garino MP14623 or Teresa Darlene McCullen MP8590 . Both lived in the area where the remains have been found. Unfortunately they've determined the remains to be male and around 30 yoa.

It's not in NAMUS yet, I checked when I saw the news this morning. I'm fairly new to this -- how long does it take for remains to show up in the database? I imagine more like months than days...

I expect that LE tries to find a match for a while before listing unidentified remains in NAMUS.

Maybe a family will have news, instead of us having another puzzle?

RIP, sir!

Can't they check who the cellphone was once registered to?

"Lots of bones, clothing and a cellphone," described Eugene Raynor, with Triangle East Timber.

Human remains found in Wayne County are from man about 30 years old, authorities say :: WRAL.com

Could information be found from the cellphone? I have heard of a laptop being found in a river and forensics were still able to connect it to a case.

Unfortunately, there are times when they're never entered into any database.

I know they say it is a male, but Teresa McCullen went missing in that very area in 2010 and has a rod in her left leg. It would be such a weird coincidence that someone else with a left rod is found right there!

This was exactly my thinking . I know she had two breast implants with serial numbers aswell. But if I recall those can start breaking down as early as 10 yrs not to mention being exposed to the process of decomp and also the weather.

Last known whereabouts for Teresa to where the remains are found is about 7 miles. Would take around a 9 minute drive or a 2 hour walk.

Brian Robinson also is missing from NC and has left leg rod, but went missing in 1991 so I doubt a cell phone would be there.

I believe that's around a 1hr 23 min dr (70 miles) (not discrediting you of course) Definitely a possibility depending on his circumstances of disappearance and if he maybe knew anyone in the area. . I really feel like this is going to be a local person considering the presence of a cellphone .

I agree. I cannot find anyone else missing from anywhere near there that has a left leg rod. And I agree with you also about the breast implants. 10 years in the elements could definitely destroy them. I wonder what makes them think it's a 30 year old male? Obviously, they are the experts ... lol ... but I hope they have at least considered Teresa.

I'm sure they have or will , as far as aging I believe per the article there going by bone Density and metal fillings in the teeth. But there's always that chance where it could be off , it has happened in the past.

Regarding the cell phone, do they have a description?

I wonder what the estimated time of death is. I am just assuming that they are guessing it is more recent.

I don't believe they've released anything other than what was in the original post. that would be a good determination of a time frame though going by the model etc.

I know Teresa’s Family VERY well. If those were her remains they would of been notified. As of right now she has still not been found. Her son and family members submitted their DNA in 2012 in hopes of finding her. Teresa had her fair share of demons but her family still loves and misses her dearly.
