Sad but who’s swimming in the ocean in December
Paul Warren I don’t think she went swimming. Either a successful suicide attempt or a murder made to look like one
Bobbie Lyn Harrsch I was thinking the same. Crazy either way
Ppl surf year round, too. Something could have gone wrong
Paul Warren surfers
Paul Me.
Max Orozco if it was a surfer do you really think she would have washed up on shore? Don’t most surfers who drown get lost at sea?
Shut down the beaches!
Frank Favocci yea just build a wall
Sad….RIP. Condolences to all.
Sorry to hear but really?
Smell something fishy with this one.
????heartbreaking Praying for her family ????????Something is totally off.
I hope this will be investigated
so sad!❤️ RIP

“Drowns to death”

Walter Ritchie that’s what I thought …..
John D Robison Jr me too
Walter Ritchie lol I said the same thing to my wife
How did she get back on the beach if she drown in the ocean?
Shannon Fenton tide probably brought her in
Shannon Fenton possibly washed up with the tide

Shannon Fenton I had actually heard yesterday that they found her bay side, not ocean side

Oh so sad rip
Jam Kelly Chris Degeski
????????????
I can’t be the only one who thinks that there must be more to this story………
A friend of mine told me about this yesterday a fisherman was down at the beach and started to fish with a few other people and they saw what they thought was a dead dolphin or something face down and they want over and they saw that it was a girl but apparently the girl didn’t have a top on or anything she had her bottoms on but her top was off so you would think maybe somebody might of killed her or she went in the ocean drunk or fooling around and she just drowned! He wasn’t sure he said then the detective came and then took it from there I’m not really sure but a buddy of mine told me all about it he found her he was one of the guys fishing near Lavallette and along the beach there very very sad
Rocky DePhillipo well if someone did end up killing her your posting details and information on a public forum that I dont think detectives would want someone doing till a full investigation is complete tread lightly ????
Sad. Night time polar bear??
So sad my heart goes out to the family I hope we get the real story soon
‘Drowns to death’? How else do you drown? ????????
Horrible and so sad but very suspicious ????…..
Isn’t the water freezing? Why would she be in the water?
????????????
This is sad. Prayers to her family.
