The body was found along railroad tracks off the 300 block of Port Avenue, in the shadow of the New Jersey Turnpike, on June 11, 2020, authorities said.

They didn’t say how they believe she died.

She’s Black or Hispanic, 25 to 35 years old, a little under 5-foot-7 and roughly 125 to 140 pounds.

She had closely cropped hair, may have worn a wig or other head covering and had double piercings in both ears.

An image of a vehicle of interest was originally released along with the sketch last November. It appears to be a light-colored Toyota Highlander – model year 2000 to 2006 -- with brightly polished rims and a roof rack. Authorities haven't said whether or not they've ruled it out of the investigation.

The scene was secured and processed by members of the Union County Homicide Task Force (HTF), assisted by members of the New Jersey State Police Crime Scene Unit, Union County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Unit and Elizabeth Police Department.

Anyone who can help identify the woman is asked to contact the HTF: (732) 428-9412 or UCPOoutreach@ucnj.org
