PEMBERTON, N.J. (CBS) — Officials have charged a 27-year-old man with murder after finding the skeletal remains of a missing 20-year-old Burlington County man in a forest in New Jersey in March.

Officials say Alan McGinnis is a suspect in the death of Cody MacPherson who had been missing since late September 2017.
