Skeletal remains found in New Jersey identified as NYC man last seen in 2011

Skeletal remains found in 2021 were identified as 32-year-old Kevin Morris of New York City. Morris was missing since 2011 after he vanished while going to visit a girlfriend.

The skeletal remains of a New York City man missing since 2011 were recently identified after being discovered in New Jersey, authorities said Monday. 

The remains were those of Kevin Morris, 21, the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement. Morris was 32 when he was reported missing in October 2011. 

He was last seen on Staten Island. He told his friends he was going to visit his girlfriend, according to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System. 

Morris had no known physical or mental problems, authorities said. Investigators were unsure how he ended up in New Jersey.
