A human skull found in an active mining pit was from a man with ties to Easton. State police are seeking information that could lead to information about why his skull was there.
Jason Gold, 34, had not been reported missing, but DNA testing showed that the skull was his, according to officials with the Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers.
Gold’s driver’s license listed his address in Easton, according to a news release. His last known address was on Tar Road in Lost Creek in Schuylkill County.
There were several active warrants open for Gold’s arrest, authorities said.
The skull was found at the bottom of an embankment in the mining pit in August 2019. The mining pit is located just off of Yatesville Road in Mahanoy Township, Schuylkill County.
“After, extensive searches of the area no other bones were located,” Crime Stoppers said in a news release.
An anthropologist was able to determine that the skull was male, and it was eventually sent to the University of North Texas for DNA testing, according to the release. In November, the testing indicated that the skull was Gold, Crime Stoppers said.
“Gold was not reported missing by any agencies," they said. “Several family members were interviewed and were unable to provide further information on why Gold would have been where his body was discovered or why only his skull was discovered.”
Gold was described in the release as a white man with brown hair, blue eyes and tattoos on his arms. He was about 6 feet, 1 inch tall and 165 pounds.
Anyone with information about Gold’s death has been asked to contact state police at 610-378-4454 or the Crime Stoppers at 1-800-472-8477.
