Albany County, NY – New York State Police are renewing calls for information in the 1992 homicide of a 14-year-old boy whose remains were discovered in a wooded area more than three decades ago, authorities announced this week.
According to New York State Police, troopers received a disturbing call on January 8, 1992, reporting that human remains had been found in a wooded area of Selkirk, located in Albany County, south of the city of Albany. Investigators later identified the victim as Edward “Mitt” Crowley, a teenager who had been reported missing months earlier.
Police said Crowley had been reported missing to the Albany Police Department and was last seen on March 27, 1991, in the area of Northern Boulevard and Livingston Avenue in Albany. After a lengthy investigation, his death was officially ruled a homicide, though no arrests have been made.
State Police Troop G and the Major Crimes Unit are now revisiting the case, urging anyone who may have information — no matter how small it may seem — to come forward. Investigators believe renewed public attention could help generate new leads in the long-unsolved case.
Authorities emphasized that advances in investigative techniques and forensic technology have made it possible to re-examine cold cases like Crowley’s, potentially uncovering evidence or witness accounts that were not available in the early 1990s.
Anyone with information related to Edward Crowley’s disappearance or death is asked to contact New York State Police at 518-457-6811 or email crimetip@troopers.ny.gov. Tips can be shared confidentially.
State Police say even decades later, community cooperation remains critical in bringing justice to victims and closure to families.
