Police say skeletal remains discovered in Ocean County last month lead to murder charges Tuesday morning.
They say Alan McGinnis has been charged with the murder of 20-year-old Cody MacPherson.
According to police, MacPherson's remains were found in the Colliers Mills Wildlife Management Area in Jackson. Wildlife services were doing a controlled burn at the time.
MacPherson had been missing since September.
Officials say McGinnis stabbed MacPherson in September and dumped his body.
Authorities did not disclose a motive or a relationship between the men.
