The NYSP announced that both the State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Troop F Forensic Identification Unit were working on both identifying the body as well as the cause of death. It was at least the second grim discovery in as many weeks in the Hudson Valley.

On October 17th, it was reported that authorities in Orange County were investigating remains found by employees of Central Hudson in New Windsor, NY. While theories in that case included the body having ties to an old mob burial ground, the NYSP has no such leads with their current investigation in Greene County.
