The lifeless body of Norelis Mendoza, a 32-year-old mother of two from New Jersey, was found on the side of a highway subsequent to her disappearance on Mother’s Day.
On Wednesday morning, the lifeless body of Norelis Mendoza was found near the Jersey City-Bayonne border off Route 440.
This discovery was made four days after she was reported missing. On Saturday evening, she was last seen departing from her mother’s residence. An investigation into the death of a Lindenwold resident is currently underway by the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office and local police.
The reason or method of death has not yet been determined, according to sources. According to WABC, Mendoza’s family suspects that she fell prey to domestic violence and that her 1 and 3-year-old children were also affected. As per the reports, the body was found in close proximity to his residence, and it has been noted that he has a record of violent behavior.
According to Norelis’ cousin Giovanni Molina, she was a caring mother who never neglected her children on Mother’s Day.
According to his statement, a woman, who appeared to be sad, left two young children – a 3-year-old and a 1-year-old – behind. According to Molina, the children will never have the chance to celebrate Mother’s Day with their mother.
Family and friends convened on Wednesday to pay tribute to Mendoza, who was last spotted departing from her mother’s residence on Montgomery Street on Saturday night. At the time, the identity of her romantic partner was unknown.
According to CBS News, Molina stated that they were unaware of whether she had entered a vehicle or traveled on foot.
A mother of two has gone missing. Jersey City authorities have reported the discovery of Norelis Mendoza’s deceased body.
As per the family’s account, surveillance footage captured the mother in the company of an individual on the night she disappeared. According to sources, it has been confirmed that they were present in the downtown region of Jersey City.
According to available information, that is all we currently know. The location of it remains unknown. According to CBS News, Molina stated that there is no information regarding their whereabouts after that. The family is reportedly in a state of complete shock. He stated that this should not have happened.
According to sources, when the cousin tried to reach out to Mendoza’s mother, all attempts were unsuccessful as there was no response and the calls went straight to voicemail. The individual inquired,
“After a while, one might wonder, where is Mom?” The question is: Why is she not checking in? The question was posed as to why she was not coming. Molina explained that it is Mother’s Day, above all.
On Sunday morning, a missing person report was filed by her family and a BOLO alert was subsequently issued. Over the course of the next 48 hours, multiple law enforcement agencies conducted a thorough search of the surrounding area.

The Post’s attempts to reach the prosecutor’s office and Jersey City police were unsuccessful as they did not immediately respond to the calls.
