    The victim is believed to be a Hispanic woman between 22 to 43 years old. She stood approximately 4’9” to 5’7” in height. Her weight, hair colour, and eye colour could not be determined.

    On NamUs, it states “UP136066 and UP127517 were found in the same vicinity and may be related.” There is no further information regarding this, but I will do a write up of #UP136066 soon as well.

    Clothing found nearby were a black t-shirt with a graphic of a white clothes hanger which had a heart and the word “LOVE” in red, white, and blue, hanging from the hanger, dark coloured jeans, underwear, a dark coloured bra with lace detail, black tennis shoes/sneakers, and black ankle socks with blue heels and toes. I will note that in the images provided on NamUs, three shoes are shown; two of the ones I believe are the black, possibly size 36 ones noted in the items found, and one of a different kind that is not mentioned otherwise.

    (*I will be doing a lot of cases of Doe’s who likely passed when crossing the Mexico-United States border. A lot of these cases have very little information provided.*)

    BACKGROUND

    On November 22nd, 2023, human remains were discovered in a wooded area in Westampton, New Jersey. A driver’s license with the name “Bryan Walsh” was found with the remains.

    The victim is believed to be a Caucasian male between 50 to 99 years old. He stood between 5’3” to 5’9” in height and had brown, long hair. His weight and eye colour could not be determined.

    There is no further information on this case that I can find. I can only find his NamUs profile, and it barely has anything.

    I did do a search of the coordinates listed on NamUs. The location of discovery seems to be close to Mt. Holly Road (County Road 541). On one side of Mt. Holly Road there are a ton of businesses, including what looks like a shopping centre with a large parking lot.

    On the other side there is an exit on to Irick road. This area is empty besides an electrical substation on one side and one house on the other. Behind the substation, there is a large patch of woods. The coordinates on NamUs are right at the end of the substation, just at the start of the patch of woods. I will include a Maps photo as I know I am not explaining this well.
