The skeletal remains of a human foot found by a fisherman in August at Corson's Inlet State Park (just south of Ocean City) could be that of a Philadelphia woman who has been missing since March 2012.

Action News 6-ABC and other news outlets are reporting that family members have been told that the remains have been identified.

New Jersey State Police have not confirmed the identification — though the reports say a medical examiner's report is likely to come later this week.
