Police investigating the discovery of bones north of Sydney last week have released an image of a wristwatch found in the hope of identifying the remains. About 3.30pm last Thursday (4 July 2013), a 46-year-old woman and her 13-year-old son were walking along a bush track that runs from the end of William Street, to Sandy Bay at Brooklyn. As they approached an area at the base of a cliff, the pair located a human skeleton. They walked to a nearby fish and chip shop and phoned police, and officers from Kuring Gai attended, but could not locate the area in which the bones were found. The following morning police launched an extensive search and located the skeleton. A crime scene was established and the bones were removed for forensic testing. Police from Kuring Gai Local Area Command are conducting a number of inquiries into the identity of the person and their cause of death. Officers have today released two images of a silver coloured ‘Citizen’ brand wristwatch, with a blue face, found with the bones. “It’s too early to make any assumptions as to the cause of death or the identity of the person,” Kuring Gai Crime Manager, Detective Inspector Ian Mitchell said. “However, we are hopeful someone who has a missing loved one will recognise this watch and get the closure they deserve,” he said. Anyone with information about this incident should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page: https://www1.police.nsw.gov.au/. Information you provide will be treated in the strictest of confidence. We remind people
