HomicideInfo
At approximately 5:00 p.M. On November 4, 1997, the body of an unidentified white female was discovered lying on a dirt cul-de-sac off of Gilbride Rd. In the Township of Bridgewater, New Jersey. The victim was subsequently identified as twenty-three year-old Tamara Tignor a known drug user and prostitute who had recently been living in Newark, New Jersey. Tammy, as many people knew her, was also known to frequent the areas of Somerville, South Bound Brook, Plainfield, and Union Beach. Due to the remoteness of where Tammy was found it is possible that the person(s) responsible for her death may have close ties to the area due to their familiarity with this location. There is also a strong possibility that Tamara was murdered at some other location and subsequently transported to the Gilbride Rd. Area and disposed of from a vehicle.Agency
