Neighbors believe the veteran's mother had stockpiled the food during the pandemic and her son was simply trying to ditch the excess Rost said his military veteran neighbor, who was not named, dumped the oodles of noodles on the bank while he was moving out of his mother's home after her death. 'That would have been a big mess to start cleaning all the flies in the house maggots,' he told NBC New York. The city cleaned up the mess on the same day, to Rost and his neighbors' relief. Rost claims that the pasta was uncooked when it was dumped, but heavy rains had softened the massive mound, making it appear that it was cooked. 'My grandparents always had a cupboard full of cans and pasta, just to be safe.' 'I really feel like he was just trying to clear out his parents' house and they were probably stocked up from COVID,' Rost told NBC New York. He said he believed the man's mother had stockpiled the food during the pandemic and was simply trying to ditch the excess. Keith Rost, 33, of Old Bridge, said the unidentified man dumped the oodles of alphabet noodles and pasta at Iresick Brook on April 28 after his mother died. The mystery behind why 500lb of pasta was dumped at a New Jersey stream may have been solved by a local man who claims a veteran clearing out his late mother's home is responsible.
