The New York State Police is investigating after human remains were found in the town of Patterson. NYSP says officers from the Brewster barracks were informed that human remains were discovered during excavation for a new home build.

Since the case is still in its infancy, details are limited. However, investigators have confirmed that the remains belong to a white female around 16 to 28 years old. Extensive dental work is present.

Investigators believe the victim has been deceased for more than 10 years. NYSP and Carmel Police Department investigators say the DNA sample collected does not match the profile of missing woman Robin Murphy.

Murphy was 17 years old when she disappeared from Carmel, New York on April 9, 1995. Authorities said Murphy at left her residence to meet her boyfriend at a local restaurant. She was last seen on foot at ShopRite Plaza on Route 52 but never reached the restaurant.

A short time later, her vehicle was found near the Burger King in the mall’s parking lot. Murphy’s keys, wallet, and checkbook were found in a marshy area behind the center a few days later. Foul play is suspected.
