Police Trying to ID Remains Found in Luzerne County

"PITTSTON TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Police say human remains were discovered off Pittston Township Boulevard in Luzerne County on Monday.

[...]

Investigators say those remains had likely been there for a while. Officials have not confirmed who the victim is or how they died.

The remains were deteriorating and the death didn’t appear to be recent, police say."

Still very recent discovery, and of course not much information since this discovery occurred only yesterday.

Based on the limited information we have, this is my best estimate of where the remains were found:

Thanks Bombardier! I actually thought of Robert Baron first when I saw this discovery, since his case is one of the highest-profile W-B area cases I've seen in recent times. His restaurant is quite close to the scene, and they found blood and I believe a tooth there, so it's pretty likely he met with foul play, unfortunately. If I recall correctly, one of the leading theories in his case involved some sort of local Mafia involvement, if that helps any.

"Pittston Township police and state police were called to a wooded area near the Pittston Bypass around 2 p.m. Monday. They found human remains somewhere behind the former Kmart building." bbm

I am surprised I can’t find anything recent about this case but first person to come to mind is Yiear west, very close
Proximity I hope there is some info released at some point atleast
