Investigators in New Jersey are trying to find out why someone left a bag of human bones hanging on the door of a local cafeteria earlier this week.

Employees arriving to work at the State Line Lookout Cafe in Palisades Interstate Park in Alpine, New Jersey found the bones and contacted police to report the discovery reports CNN.  

"The remains will be submitted to a lab for identification and will be compared to missing persons' records," Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella said in a statement. The county medical examiner's office will analyze the bones, and the prosecutor's Cold Case Unit will work to identify the remains. 

An "individual who left the bag of remains on the snack stand door was located and directed law enforcement officers to the location where the remains were found," Musella commented. "Additional bones and some personal items were discovered at the site."

County Medical Examiner Dr. Zhongxue Hua would not comment on the ongoing investigation.
