The Record
A 23-year-old single mother and former beauty pageant contestant was found dead on Wednesday afternoon after apparently being strangled at her parents’ home in Waldwick, with her baby lying unharmed in a bassinet nearby, authorities said.
Mary Greff, who gave birth to a baby boy in February, was found by her father at 1 p.m. in a second-floor bedroom of the house on Mary Lane, Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli said at the scene. Her infant son appears to have been alone for hours because police said they believe she died sometime in the early morning hours on Wednesday.
“An autopsy is yet to be performed, but the death has been ruled a homicide due to evidence of strangulation/asphyxiation,” Molinelli said in a statement on Wednesday night
My condolences to the family. It should come as no surprise that the ex-boyfriend has been arrested and charged with first degree murder.
Police have just arrested the boyfriend.
That poor kid. I wish they would string this “father” up in the center of town and let anyone who wanted to kick him in the balls at random. Feed him some moldy bread and whatever else was thrown out by a CBD restaurant at least three days past, let him sleep on a concrete floor without a pillow or blanket in a room set at 40 degrees F, and repeat the process the next day.
