Officials at the New Jersey State Police identified the human remains of a woman who went missing in 2014.
According to officials, say that divers from A construction company were removing debris from the base of the Salem River in Salem City on Thursday afternoon when they found the submerged car near West Broadway Road.
Police say the divers believe they saw human remains inside the vehicle.
