A hiker found human remains at Mariners Marsh Park on Staten Island on January 18, 2021. Google Maps

''The hiker spotted the grisly remains Sunday morning near a fence near Richmond Terrace, according to sources.

When cops arrived, they discovered the skull and a pair of boots — one of which still had a bone sticking out, sources said. Detectives set up a crime scene and found more bones — as well as a wallet with a 2005 calendar card, a rolled-up carpet, a glove and empty bottles of alcohol, the sources added.

It was still unclear if those items were connected to the human remains, which sources say are believed to have been from a man in his late teens or early 20s.''

Bones, boots and a wallet with a 2005 calendar: Cops hope M.E. sheds light on park discovery
''The area where the remains were found is undeveloped, heavily wooded and clogged with reeds taller than an adult. A fence surrounds the perimeter and a sign indicates that the property is closed to the public during an environmental investigation.''

''Officers found skeletal remains in Mariners Marsh Park on Sunday, Jan. 17, 2021. The police investigation continued on Tuesday when a section of the park along Richmond Terrace near Western Avenue remained roped off with caution tape.

Anyone think those timberlands are dark brown, or deep dark burgundy?
I used the wear them a lot, I don’t recall black being offered...

They definitely have black boots but they look to me more like these dark brown timberlands that have been exposed to the elements for a while.

Used to wear them too and tend to associate them with a rich brown colour, but in this case they do look as if they could be a sun-bleached black. imo,

To me the boots look like they're possibly damp, brown and very well worn on the soles. You can see the brand "Timberland" on the underside of the heel that is showing . On the lateral side of the left boot towards the heel the embossing of the Timberland symbol.

Best possible match I found that hasn't already been mentioned among nearby states (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut): Oved Duarte date missing July 8, 2005 https://www.namus.gov/MissingPersons/Case#/70634?nav
What caught my attention was his height: 5'4". The UID is estimated to be very short between 5'0"-5'4".

Adding some of the images here - Dark blue sweatshirt with "Baseball '01" on the front, White T-shirt with "All Star Cheerleader" on the front, Black sports headband, Brown wallet

Adding also photo of shoes, Black Timberland boots - original photo and its reconstruction

Even though calendar found with him states 2005, I really don't think those shoes, even though quality ones, were in the open elements for up to 10-15 years. I see bigger deterioration in shoes being out there just for one or two years. Just in my humple opinion.

Could someone have placed the 2005 calendar with the body to fool investigators?
speculation.

I'm intrigued by the wallet's lack of identification - I know my wallet personally contains 3 or 4 different things with my name/face on them.
