Hernandez worked as a kindergarten at BelovED Charter School in Jersey City — just a two-minute walk away from where she lived, according to ABC News’ New York City station WABC-TV.

The school’s founder, Bret Schundler, called Hernandez an amazing person and a wonderful kindergarten teacher who developed close relationships with staff and students, according to WABC.

“This will be a shock to the entire community,” he told WABC.

“[She was a] very pleasant woman, beautiful children. It is sad that she passed away. I feel terrible,” a neighbor identified as Monique told WABC in an interview. “She always seemed so pleasant so I really didn’t think something so severe [could happen].”

Hernandez leaves behind three young children, two of which were students at the school she taught at, according to WABC. All classes at the school were cancelled on Wednesday.

Missing New Jersey teacher found dead in shallow grave

The body of 33-year-old Luz Hernandez was found in a shallow grave in Kearny, New Jersey. Authorities are investigating the death.

Luz Hernandez, a 33-year-old mother of three from Jersey City, had been reported missing Monday after she was absent from her job at the BelovED Charter School and family members realized they had not spoken with her over the weekend, NBC New York reported. Authorities performed a welfare check which led to the grisly discovery.


Hernandez's cause and manner of death is undetermined



I think it is interesting that they are noting that her cause of death and manner of death is undetermined. Being in a shallow grave, I would think it would be obvious that her manner of death is homicide! She didn't bury herself. This is so sad! Prayers for her family and the children that loved her.

I was hoping a thread would pop up for LH. We don't know what led LE to her body. I'm thinking that they are going to keep silent on pertinent details but I hope they have an idea who the suspect is.

Sitting on my hands until LE publicly identifies the suspect, but I have my own suspicion who it’s likely to be (or, rather, what role this individual might have played in SB’s life).

”Hernandez is separated from the father of her children, Junior Santana, who was spotted at church with their children on Sunday.

Wow, a second man is unaccounted for. I was not expecting that!

 

[caradana]

I live about 20 miles from where this case has sadly taken place, and just want to say that I am very pleased and impressed with local, New Jersey and federal LE here. From securing the crime scene, to figuring out the second suspect with the traffic stop, to finding the body in what we could generously call a swamp, to tracking down the ex through Pennsylvania to Florida and detaining him before he was able to make it out of the US - in less than a week. Exceptional.

You made me laugh!! I always have the impression that we women are the big losers. After 73 years, I tell myself that I did my time. But the fact is that we suffered a lot and we can’t forget that. J'aime bien votre adage .
