DNA has matched Whiting as the biological father of the victim. Detectives want to hear from anyone who may have known him or the victim’s mother in order to positively identify her.

The victim was a Black woman, about 5-foot-2, and had at least one child before her death. Investigators believe she was born between 1953 and 1963.

ETA
The FBI is also investigating this case. Anyone who knew Whiting is asked to contact them or the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office.

This is extremely confusing. His obituary mentions two bio daughters and one adopted son...then no less than 84 grandchildren. How is that possible? MOO.
