THE RECORD
As West Milford police searched for the victim of the fatal bear attack on Sept. 21, they tried calling him and contacted his cell phone carrier about conducting a trace, information newly released by the West Milford clerk reveals.
The victim, Darsh Patel, a 22-year-old Rutgers student, had been missing after he and four friends with whom he was hiking separated while fleeing a black bear at the Apshawa Preserve.
Previously redacted portions of police incident reports offer new details on law enforcement’s search for Patel’s body and the disconsolation of Patel’s parents as they heard his body was found.
The Record obtained the incident reports on Sept. 25, but they were redacted because of the ongoing police investigation into the incident, Township Clerk Antoinette Battaglia said at the time. Some parts can now be disclosed because the information has been verified, Battaglia said.
