Concord, NH – Attorney General John M. Formella, Derry Police Chief George R. Feole, and New Hampshire State Police Colonel Mark B. Hall announce the discovery of human skeletal remains in an area near the Hoodkroft Country Club golf course in Derry, New Hampshire. 

Following up on a tip received by the Derry Police Department on Wednesday, officers were conducting a search of the area, during which skeletal remains were discovered. 

An examination of the remains will now be completed by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in consultation with forensic anthropologists. This is a process that can take months.

At this time, the age of the remains, the cause of death, the individual’s age, biological sex, and identity are unknown.

Investigators are expected to remain on scene for at least an additional day. Members of the public are reminded that the golf course is not yet open to the public.

No further details are anticipated until the examination results are known.
