John “Rob” Jordan, who turns 48 this coming Sunday, was arrested last May 10 when he arrived in Greenville, S.C., with the boys, hours after the body of 39-year-old Saddle Brook native Tracey Jordan was found at her Cynthia Gardens apartments on Garibaldi Avenue.
She’d been stabbed several times in the chest.
Jordan remained held on $3 million bail in the Bergen County Jail today.
The indictment returned by a grand jury in Hackensack charges him with:
• purposely or knowingly causing the death, or serious bodily injury resulting in the death, of Tracey Jordan;
• two counts of illegally possessing a weapon — the knife — to be used against her;
• one count each of removing each boy while fleeing the state.
The two Jordan boys — Nicholas and Anthony — are living with an aunt in Tracey Jordan’s Saddle Brook hometown.
“To many, it’s a sense of comfort to know appropriate justice is coming,” Saddle Brook Police Chief Robert Kugler told CLIFFVIEW PILOT this afternoon.
“We know it’s going to be a long and challenging road ahead,” said Kugler, who is related to Tracey Jordan by marriage, “but we are staying focused on keeping Tracey, her family and their interests a priority.”
