Composite sketch of woman found dead in Elizabeth created

That have a vehicle of interest as well

 

[bombardier]

I'm guessing condition of the remains were newly dead? Considering it says 'Not recognizable - Traumatic injuries' instead of 'Decomposition' or 'Partially Skeletonized' or something. I'm just confused why they can't provide an actual measured height or a weight for this woman. Like come on...5'4" to 5'10" fits half of all women in the US, doesn't really narrow things down!

 

[bombardier]

The only clue truly being provided here is the facial composition gives a drawn representation of her dentals.

With so little to go on I'm just working my way down a list and adding anyone I think could be possibilities.

Unless Lucinda had gotten remedial dental work I think her teeth are different enough to rule her out... It looks like the UID has symmetrical tissue loss, maybe from grinding (also kind of looks like the open bite you'd find in kids who continue thumbsucking), while Lucinda has a tooth that's broken almost up to the gum line.

What about kimberly?(NamUs Link) I see a fairly strong resemblance between the two. Unfortunately there's not much info on her.

Wow I’m following for info

May I ask where you found that?

There is a list on the NamUs Home page with the total number of active and resolved cases for Missing, Unidentified and Unclaimed Persons. You can select to see the total for each state and I keep a spreadsheet and track all changes, usually daily.

ETA: scroll down to the bottom of the page, it’s under “The Success of NamUs”

SOLVED: Union County Jane Doe (2020) is identified

SOLVED: Union County Jane Doe (2020) is identified

Identified as 23-year-old Jasmine Featherstone of Elizabeth, New Jersey. I read the NJ State Police post and her brother, Devon, said she dealt with a terrible family. Rest in peace Jasmine

 

[cheemsg]

The fact she was never reported missing makes it likely she was killed by somebody she trusted. Only 23 years old

NJ police hope someone in CT has info about woman’s murder

Police in New Jersey reached out to Channel 3 in hopes that someone in Connecticut might know something about a woman’s murder.
