Hunters find body in Deptford woods
By John Barna, Staff Writer
Deptford Twp.-The badly decomposed body of a young woman has been found in a wooded area off Caulfield Avenue here, authorities said Tuesday.
The body was discovered (material redacted due to copyright limitations)in the wooded tract that is expected to eventually be part of the Locust Grove Farms development, according to Gloucester County Prosecuter Richard E. Hickey III.

Hickey described the finding as “human skeletal remains…What is left has been mummified.”
“The body has been there for some time,” Hickey said.
Gloucester County Medical Examiner Dr. Claus P. Speth said he was able to determine Tuesday night that the body was that of a woman between the ages of 25 and 28, about 5 feet, 5 inches tall with brown hair.
He said an examination of the skull showed that the deceased was a Caucasion. He said the skull contained a full set of teeth, and noted the teeth had been subjected to extensive dental work.

The body was found in what one official described as a “thick bramble patch” about one-half mile from the rear of the Plaza at Deptford shopping center that fronts on Clements Bridge Road.
The area is a combination of cornfields, woods and dirt trails often used by people riding motorcycles.
