Baltimore County, MD — Baltimore County homicide detectives are investigating whether skeletal remains found Saturday in a creek near Back River are those of a missing New Jersey woman who was last seen in June.
According to the Baltimore County Police Department, officers responded at approximately 11:25 a.m. to the area near the interchange of Maryland Route 702 and Interstate 695 after receiving a report of possible human remains.
When officers arrived, they located skeletal remains in a nearby creek bed, a tributary of Back River.
Investigators working to identify remains
Police said detectives are investigating whether the remains belong to 46-year-old Kimberly Gordon, who was reported missing from New Jersey.
Authorities said Gordon was last seen at approximately 2 p.m. on June 21.
Kimberly was last seen at approximately 2:00 p.m. behind Sky Zone East Baltimore (8645 Pulaski Highway) in Rosedale, Maryland. Investigators believe she may have been involved in a car crash that day and could have sustained a head injury, making this case especially urgent.
Her 2024 white Hyundai Elantra—which displayed a wide-load sign and stickers with her name and phone number on the side windows—has since been recovered. Surveillance cameras captured Kimberly behind Sky Zone, but she has not been seen since.
