Found Deceased NJ - Carol Reiff, 59, murdered, Blackwood, 20 June 2013 *arrest in 2023* - NOT GUILTY

[LilacStar79]

The police don't seem to be releasing much information about Carol Reiff's death. I am at a little bit of a loss as to why after 3 days her remains were in such a state that made identification difficult. Any ideas?

Yes I agree about the heat. It can cause a body to deteriorate very quickly. I am a funeral director and anytime we get a family who comes in and says their loved one may have been dead for a few days, I always want to see the condition of the body before I can say they are viewable.

A Gloucester Township woman was found dead two years ago this week, but investigators still don't know how she died — or whether the case is a homicide...

In an effort to generate new leads, Gloucester Township police worked with Reiff's family to create a detailed video about the case... The video revisits the apartment complex where Reiff's body was discovered in a wooded area near a maintenance shed. Detectives detail the timeline of the woman's disappearance and discovery. Centanni explains the reward.

The video was created and put out on social media through the department's Crime Stoppers program.

Joseph Grisoff, 59, of Mount Laurel, was charged today with first-degree Murder in the death of Carol Reiff of Gloucester Township.

After locating the victim, detectives interviewed Grisoff, a maintenance worker who lived near the victim’s apartment.

At that time, Grisoff said that he saw the victim outside regularly and admitted to complimenting her in the past. He claimed, however, that he had never been inside of her apartment.

“An autopsy was conducted and the cause and manner of death was left undetermined due to decomposition,” stated a joint statement from Gloucester Township police and the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office.

Detectives interviewed Joseph Grisoff, a maintenance worker who lived near her apartment, officers said. At the time, he allegedly said he saw Reiff outside often and admitted complimenting her, but he asserted he was never in her home.

Investigators got potential DNA evidence from a pair of her jeans and an empty beer bottle in her apartment, but testing at the time did not get results.

Now cops say that technological advances paved the way for detectives to reanalyze the evidence, and they claim there’s a “strong proposition” that both Reiff and Grisoff contributed to the DNA profiles on the jeans and beer bottle.

Authorities said U.S. Marshals arrested Grisoff, now 59, on Wednesday for first-degree murder.

“For the last decade, the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office and Gloucester Township Police Department have remained focused on getting justice for the Reiff family,” said Camden County Prosecutor Grace C. MacAulay. “I’m thankful to the detectives and assistant prosecutors who remained dedicated to this case and to holding the person responsible who unjustly took Ms. Reiff from her loved ones.”
