South Jersey’s Most Shocking Unsolved Murders
Some of South Jersey's most shocking murders and disappearances remain unsolved decades later.
These cases, which haunt both families and investigators, include the murders of teenagers, a mysterious death involving a New Jersey Transit train, four prostitutes found dead behind a motel in West Atlantic City, and several people who have vanished without a trace.
Despite the passage of time, none of these cases has been solved, and investigators say answers could still be out there.
