East Brunswick, NJ – A 31-year-old mother of two has been missing since yesterday morning after she was last seen in Jackson, NJ — miles from her East Brunswick home — leaving behind her two young daughters and husband in what family members say is completely out of character.
[removed] was last seen Monday wearing black leggings and a brown hooded sweatshirt. According to those close to her, [removed] sudden disappearance and lack of contact is highly unusual and has sparked deep concern among both loved ones and investigators.
[removed], who resides in East Brunswick, reportedly vanished after being seen in Jackson earlier in the day. She never returned home and has not responded to any messages or calls. Her family has described her as a devoted mother, and the fact that she left her children and husband behind without warning has intensified the urgency of the search.
She is described as 5 feet 1 inch tall, weighing 90 pounds, with blonde hair and brown eyes. She has a light complexion and distinctive tattoos on her left ring finger and left forearm.
The East Brunswick Police Department is handling the investigation with assistance from other jurisdictions, given the cross-county nature of the case. As of Tuesday, no leads or confirmed sightings have been reported publicly.
