The remains of an adult woman have been located in a remote area of Upstate New York and State Police have released photos of the woman's jewelry in hopes that someone can help identify her, and ultimately notify her family.

At this time, State Police don't know if the unidentified woman was the victim of a crime, or the circumstances that lead to her death.

The woman's body was found along what investigators called a remote area in the Otsego County town of Morris - located approximately 45 miles South of Utica.

Earlier this week, a couple using a metal detector came upon the body after they said they could smell the decomposing remains. However, police have not indicated the manner of her death, or a timetable as to how long the remains had been there.
