Two Long Island beachgoers found a human jawbone on the sand in an eerie discovery during their Monday evening stroll, cops said.
The man and woman were walking along the beach at Smith Point County Park in Shirley, along the south shore of the island, just before 5 p.m. when they spotted the bone, police said.
The pair brought the remains to a park attendant working at the beach, who called the cops, authorities said.
The Suffolk County Medical Examiner determined that the remains are human, but further investigation is needed to link them to a particular person.
Detectives from Suffolk County Police Homicide Squad are also investigating the finding.
