Mahwah, NJ – A major scientific breakthrough has injected new life into a two-decade-old mystery in Burlington County. Authorities have announced critical new details in the cold case of a woman whose remains were discovered 21 years ago in Mount Laurel, New Jersey.
The New Jersey State Police Cold Case Unit, in collaboration with the Ramapo College Investigative Genetic Genealogy Center, provided a significant update on the case, which has long been known as the “Burlington County Jane Doe”.
The Key Revelation: Turkic Ethnic Group
Thanks to advanced DNA testing, investigators have confirmed a crucial new detail about the victim’s background: the woman is likely of the Turkic ethnic group.
This finding strongly suggests that her relatives originate from a country in Central Eurasia. Specifically, police are now focusing their efforts on connecting with communities and citizens from nations that include:
- Kazakhstan
- Kyrgyzstan
- Uzbekistan
- Azerbaijan
This new genetic information provides the most concrete lead to date, narrowing the search dramatically after two decades.
Distributing the Sketch to Central Eurasia
In a renewed effort to finally identify the victim, police are actively distributing a forensic sketch of the woman to citizens and officials in the likely countries of origin. The hope is that the sketch, combined with the new ethnic profile, will jog the memory of someone who knew the missing woman.
The victim’s remains were originally discovered by a work crew in Mount Laurel behind the property that was once the Malibu Grand Prix, now an abandoned miniature racetrack. The long-standing case highlights the tireless dedication of cold case investigators and the powerful role of modern genetic genealogy in solving historical mysteries.
If you have any information regarding a woman of Turkic descent who went missing around 21 years ago, especially one with ties to New Jersey, you are urged to contact the New Jersey State Police Cold Case Unit immediately.
