Police say skeletal remains found by a passerby in the City of Troy this week do not belong to missing boy Jaliek Rainwalker.

Troy Police say a dental comparison was conducted Wednesday to determine whether the remains were consistent with Rainwalker, a Greenwich resident who disappeared at age 12 in 2007.

The remains were discovered in the area of Burden Pond Sunday evening. The area had previously been searched during that long-running investigation.

Officials say further analysis to determine the identity of the remains will occur next week.
