Gallery: Gloucester County's unsolved homicides
By Andy Polhamus

For NJ.com
WOODBURY -- The years go by, and the trails get colder, but
families still wait for answers.
Since 2008, there have been about 25 homicides in Gloucester
County, and every one has ended in an arrest. Still, the
Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office currently has 18 unsolved
homicides in its caseload, ranging from the 2007 murder of a
college athlete on a busy street corner to the discovery of a
baby girl whose body was left in the woods. Some of the cases
are decades old. And although the stories often fade from public
memory after a few years, the GCPO has meetings each month in
which detectives give any updates they've found on cold cases.
It's easy to lose hope, but Gloucester County has had a few
major successes in the past. The most notable example is the
conviction for a 25-year-old murder in 2005. In 2012, a man was
convicted in the death of Jennifer Whipkey a decade after the
22-year-old was murdered. In 2007, a man was convicted of
murdering and robbing a Franklinville resident in a crime that
had occurred in 1997.
"It's a combination of hard work, using your resources and
luck," said Sean Dalton, Gloucester County Prosecutor. "But the
harder you work, the luckier you get."
Two major factors are ever-improving technology and the
discovery of new leads, usually in the form of witnesses who had
previously stayed quiet.
"Sometimes people who have knowledge of homicides have a crisis
of conscience as they get older and mature," said Dalton. "They
decide what happened way back when wasn't right, and they want
to right that wrong."
Anyone with information on any of these cases is asked to call
the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office at (856) 384-6900.

Gloucester County Jane Doe (1986)
A female infant's body was found on December 4, 1986 behind a
restaurant in Turnersville, Gloucester County, New Jersey.[200]
The baby had been born, smothered and disposed of in a nearby
dumpster. She was approximately twenty-inches tall and weighed
around seven pounds.[201] She was white with dark hair and brown
eyes. After her murder, she was wrapped in a distinct pink,
black and white towel depicting an African landscape and then
inside of a gray trash bag. The victim herself has been
reconstructed and the National Center for Missing and Exploited
Children also created an estimation of what her mother may have
looked like, although she has never been found

Baby Christine:
The dead baby girl was found in a silver-colored plastic bag
behind Paisano's Restaurant in the Towne Center Shopping Center
on Black Horse Pike by a farmer searching for garbage for his
pigs - she was dumped there sometime between 1a - 8:30a. The
baby was born alive, full term, and only hours old when she died
of suffocation. The child is described as a caucasian with a
dark complexion. She was a perfect baby girl with black hair.
The child's umbilical cord had been cut, but not in a manner
that a doctor would have done. Blood tests confirm that the
mother was white. A group of anti-abortion activists associated
with the Catholic Diocese of Camden arranged a burial for the
infant. Calvary Cemetery in Cherry Hill provided a free plot.
The group gave the child a name, ''Christine."
The towel has a picture of a leopard looking down on African
plains animals under a purple sky with white clouds. The towel
is marked "Copyright 1985 Miller Gilbert Publishing" along the
margin. The manufacturer's tag was faded and unreadable.
Investigators are checking with the U.S. Patent Office in
Washington to see whether the towel was distributed only in this
area or sold nationwide.
The Police Benevolent Association Local 318, Washington
Township, for the first time ever, offered a $500 reward for
anyone able to identify who left left the baby. A local
businessman has added $1,000.
Washington Township has a group that offers pregnant young teens
and women free counseling as well as free housing, medical care,
and support.
