Ocean County, NJ – Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer has confirmed the arrest of Jared Krysiak, 34, from Brick Township, on serious criminal charges. Krysiak, who had been a fugitive, was apprehended on July 16, in Marlboro, New Jersey.
Krysiak was charged on July 13, 2024, with hindering apprehension and desecration of human remains. These charges stem from incidents that reportedly occurred on or about July 3, in Toms River and Jackson Townships. The arrest was conducted by detectives from the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit and the Toms River Township Police Department.
Following his capture, Krysiak was transported to the Ocean County Jail, where he will remain pending a detention hearing.
This case it tied to another murder case involving Maxwell Johnston, a gunman who murdered a mother in cold blood in Manchester Township. Last week, after a three hour armed stand off with police, Johnston killed himself. During their investigation, police learned the owner of the home where Johnston was hiding was killed, dismembered and his body parts were discarded in plastic bags at a home in Jackson Township.
