Remains Are Those of Missing Somerset Woman

Investigators say human remains recovered last month in a search of a Somerset County property belong to missing woman Tammy Berkey. Details are limited right now, but state police say the remains were found during an extensive search in the area of the Mason Dixon Highway in Brothersvalley Township. Investigators say the remains were sent away for DNA testing and were confirmed to match Berkey. Authorities say troopers arrived at the home and spoke with Berkey’s brother, identified as James Foy Jr., who also lived at the residence. Police say while troopers were searching the residence, Foy allegedly went into another room of the home where he reportedly committed suicide.
