New Jersey State Police ask for help identifying human remains found in Belleplain State Forest
New Jersey State Police are asking for the public's help to identify human remains found in Cape May County.

It gets even stranger. The man who found the body is arrested for not letting the police have his cell phone. After reading this I would suggest if you find a body anywhere and don't want the police to take your phone, you should call them from a different phone.

Police allege the man was in the Belleplain State Forest at the time the woman's body was found in an abandoned fridge.
My takeaway is more like, if you find a body somewhere don't report it unless you're prepared to cooperate with the police. Seems like common sense... if you report it, you'll be added to the list of suspects. Hopefully you will be quickly cleared, but I think the police would be negligent if they didn't investigate you to some extent....
I'd report something like that immediately, and using my cell phone. It simply has to be done that way in my opinion.

I bet they were also checking to see if he took photos of the body. If so, they most likely will make you delete them or they will do it. Imagine if they were posted at some point in the future and everyone thinks it is the police doing it. By checking his photos and maybe phone records they can eliminate that issue.
IMO... if you find a body, the police are gonna have a whole lot of questions for you, phone or not. I learned that on Forensic Files! 
The police can’t legally demand you turn your phone over to them unless you’re being arrested, and even then they still need a search warrant to open it. This guy was arrested because a judge issued a warrant for the contents of his phone and he refused to provide the password to open it. Whether it’s your phone, your house, or your car, without a search warrant you always have a right under the fourth amendment to tell the police, “I don’t consent to a search,” and unless they can prove they have probable cause that you’ve committed a crime, they‘re violating your rights if they conduct that search without your consent.It gets even stranger.

I'd be annoyed, but since there's nothing on my phone to be worried about I'd turn it over.
Have to wonder what's on his...
Also wonder if they have other reasons to focus on him or if it's just cause he's a felon.
Wouldn't normally expect a murderer to report the murder
