MONTICELLO, N.Y. (AP) - Authorities say skeletal remains found in an upstate New York forest last month have been identified as those of a 76-year-old man who had been reported missing around Christmas.
The Times Herald-Record of Middletown reports (https://bit.ly/2wDNhsS ) that the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office says the identification of Lawrence Molinaro’s remains was made through a serial number on a shoulder implant he had received several years ago.
Sheriff Mike Schiff says his remains were found next to his SUV that was discovered on Aug. 26 in a thickly wooded area in the town of Cochetcton (keh-CHEHK’-tehn), on the Pennsylvania border 90 miles (145 kilometers) northwest of New York City.
