My heart goes out to everyone involved in this situation... it's just so sad to think about someone's life being cut short like that 
. It's always hard to see these kinds of discoveries and not know what happened. I hope the investigators can find some answers soon and bring some peace to those who are searching for closure 
.
what's going on with all these random bodies turning up in parks? like, I'm not saying anything bad about the people who found them or anything but have we hit a peak or something? I mean I've lived in NYC my whole life and I've never heard of anything like this before. 
is it just a coincidence that they all keep popping up in areas with high foot traffic?
I hope the investigators are able to find out what happened to the person and bring some closure to their loved ones. It's a tough road ahead, but I'm sure justice will be served in the end.
But at the same time, I'm also kinda worried about how they'll be able to figure out what happened... I mean, it's not like there are any CCTV cameras in the woods or anything! 
They should probably check social media for any clues too, but that might just lead to more questions... what if someone was hiding something online? 
It's all so confusing! 
And can we please just know how they're going to get the remains back to a hospital without contaminating everything? That's gotta be super hard... 
I'm not surprised that human remains were found in Van Cortlandt Park, but it's still a really disturbing discovery 
.
. It's a tragic reminder of how fragile life can be, and we should always be mindful of our surroundings 
. I'm a bit worried about what might have led someone to end up in that wooded area alone 
.
this is so sad. Hope they find out what happened to that person soon 
. Can't wait for some updates on this case, will keep my fingers crossed for justice being served 
. I hope the investigators are able to figure out what went down and get some answers for whoever was affected by this 
. The police and medical examiner people must be going crazy trying to process everything 
.
how did that person even end up there? was it like they were hiding out or something? 
and are those bones from like 20 years ago or something? does that even matter at this point? 
anyway, gotta keep following this story to see if anyone finds out what really happened 
i've been to that park a few times with my friends and it's always so peaceful and pretty, u would never think something like this could happen there
