It took nearly three years for investigators to identify Morris.
Prosecutors reached out to the public last year asking for help to identify remains found in Galloway on June 7, 2021.
They said the remains were found with a metallic ring and a silver single-stud earring. An image of the ring was released to the public.
The man was between 5'5" and 5'11" and there were signs he had surgery on his right hand, which had a metallic plate.
New Jersey 101.5 has reached out to the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office to confirm that the remains are the same.
