Jenna Lord's Body Found in Camden, Says Family; Mother Was Missing Nearly Two Weeks
CAMDEN, N.J. (CBS/KYW/AP) Family and friends of missing Pennsylvania mother Jenna Lord have confirmed that the body found in a vacant lot in Camden is her remains.
The 23-year-old's uncle, Ariel Morales, discovered his niece's badly decomposed body Sunday afternoon after the family decided to conduct another search for Lord.
"I was in denial for the first two seconds or first two minutes," Morales told the Philadelphia Daily News. "I was really hoping it was somebody else."
Although county officials have not yet confirmed that the body is in fact Lord, Morales says his greatest fears were confirmed when he saw a Mickey Mouse tattoo on the forearm of the body, reports the Philadelphia Daily News.
After attending a family barbeque in Collingswood on July 5, Lord had phoned from a stranger's cell phone at a train station in Camden to say that she was on her way home, but was never seen or heard from again.
Surveillance footage recovered from the Camden train station shows Lord walking toward Broadway with two men; however, not much else is known regarding the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.
Anyone who may have information is urged to contact the Collingdale Police Department at 610-583-0502.
