FBI Helping Find Woman Killed In Union Co. A Year Ago

UNION COUNTY, NJ — It's been over a year since a woman was found dead along railroad tracks in Elizabeth and the FBI is helping the Union County Prosecutor’s Office in the search for her identity.

Police released a composite sketch last year and asked the public to help find more information about the woman and the circumstances of her death.

The woman’s dismembered body was found on the afternoon of June 11, 2020, along railroad tracks off of the 300 block of Port Avenue in Elizabeth.

Forensic examination and an autopsy determined that the woman was likely the victim of a homicide.

She was identified as Black and/or Hispanic, 25 to 35 years of age, with a slender build, standing about 5-foot-6 and weighing 125 to 140 pounds. She had closely cropped hair, may have worn a wig or other head covering, and had double piercings in both ears.

Along with the sketch of her face and profile now being re-released, police also shared an image of a vehicle of interest, a light-colored Toyota Highlander with brightly polished rims and a roof rack, model year 2000-2006.

Starting Friday and continuing into the weekend, the FBI is distributing the sketch via its national website, social media feeds of individual field offices, and electronic billboards across the country.

Anyone with information about this matter is urged to contact the FBI at 973-792-3000 or the Prosecutor’s Office at 732-428-9412.
