Second Discovery of Human Remains in 24 Hours at Mob Dumping Ground Shocks New York

For the second time in less than two days, authorities in Upstate New York have confirmed the discovery of human remains.

New York State Police announced Sunday that skeletal remains were recovered on Champlin Road in the town of Sodus, Wayne County. Officials said a property owner found bones in a wooded area on Wednesday and immediately called 911.

Troopers from the Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Forensic Identification Unit arrived at the scene and were assisted by the New York State Police Canine Unit and the County Coroner. Over several days, investigators continued to recover additional skeletal material from the property.

A forensic anthropologist was brought in to conduct an initial review, concluding that the remains were human. The material has since been transferred to the Medical Examiner’s Office for a full examination and identification. Authorities have not yet released further details.

This unsettling find came less than 24 hours after a separate set of remains was discovered in Orange County. On Tuesday, Central Hudson employees working on Sloop Hill Road in the Town of New Windsor stumbled upon bones just three miles from Storm King State Park. The location, investigators noted, has long carried a reputation as a possible mob dumping ground.

Both cases remain under active investigation. State Police have not confirmed any connection between the two discoveries but say they will continue forensic and anthropological testing to determine the identity of the individuals and the circumstances surrounding their deaths.
