Officials say while a crucial piece of the puzzle was solved decades later, a big part of the case still remains a mystery
Human remains discovered decades ago have just been identified as a teenager who went missing in New Jersey after Easter Sunday in 1972.After an extensive investigation involving interviews and DNA analysis, it was announced Monday that remains found near the Henry Hudson Bike Trail in Atlantic Highlands in the '80s belonged to Fitzgerald.
The skeletal remains were found during a community cleanup event on Dec. 10, 1988, but officials were not able to determine the identity of the remains. That resulted in the identification of a distant relative in Georgia. That relative agreed to an interview and uploaded DNA from her mother into a database which led officials to the identification of another lead: a woman living in Pennsylvania believed to be Jane Doe's younger sister.
The new information was reviewed by the deputy medical examiner with the Middlesex Regional Medical Examiner's Office who made the official identification in the case.
