Identified! PA - Delaware Co, Ridley Creek State Park, WhtFem 25-45, UP14642, rings w/initials, Jan'16 - Name Withheld

[elmomom]

Remains were skeletal, found 01/01/2016 in the "deep woods" by a hiker and appear to be fairly old. LE asking for folks associated with missing peeps in the area to reach out to them to help ID. Thought I would post it here, haven't had time to look at possible matches but I know you fine folks will!

More info:
Bones have been there "several months" and belong to a slender tall white female in her late teens or early twenties.

Going by the tall white female, here's what I've come up with so far using

Kortne Stouffer???

Kortne Stouffer???

Based on the description I thought of her as well. The location is a little less obvious than I would expect though. I hope it's her for her parents sake, though I really just hope that this girl gets ID'ed and goes home to rest.

I don't think the thread title is correct. The remains were in Ridley Creek Park, which is Media, just outside of Philadelphia, not Middletown.

FTR this Middletown is in Delaware County, not Dauphin County (outside of Harrisburg). This is as south east PA as you can get.

(I'm from the Dauphin County Middletown so I had a little heart attack when I saw the title of this post!)

 

[Zuri]

It is Middletown Township, Delaware County, PA. I grew up near there and always called the park: Ridley Creek State Park. I am getting old as I have never heard of the area referred to as Middletown Township. Just Lima or Edgemont area.

Ridley Creek State Park - The remains were found off Barren Road, about a 15- to 20-minute into the woods.

Some clothing was found.

Googlemaps doesn't recognize a Middletown in Delaware County. I guess "Media" means the same thing though

I thought the distinction was important because the other Middletown is quite near where Kortne Stouffer went missing (Palmyra), but the actual location is quite a bit farther away. Still close enough that it could be Kortne, though.

There do not appear to be many tall blondes in their 20's missing from PA or NJ.

Doesn't fit the description entirely but just throwing this out there.

I haven't read anywhere that the remains were that of a blonde.

Hmmmm, thought I'd throw this out there. I just reported on the missing persons page another girl missing as of a few days ago from the Bushkill area, Lehman Township, just north of Philly, dark hair, aged 16, 5-foot-7 and 120 pounds.

You're right. I thought one article said that, but apparently I misread something. Probably because Kortne is blonde and she's the first person I thought of...

 

[JerseyGirl]

Police believe she had been dead for several months before her body was found.

I grew up there, too.
Hope she is named quickly!
