Peter Meyers
CHERRY HILL, N.J. - The remains of a missing man were uncovered months after local authorities set out on several searches for the 68-year-old, according to the Cherry Hill Police Department.
Peter Meyers, 68, was reported missing by his family on June 7.
His vehicle was found abandoned on a dirt road leading to Wharton State Forest, prompting extensive searches of the wooded area within the forest. Officials say no signs of Meyers were found.
Last week, a man hunting in Wharton State Forest reportedly found what appeared to be human skeletal remains. Those remains were later identified as Peter Meyers, of Cherry Hill, officials say.
