Police release new sketch of 'Tiger Lady,' still unidentified 23
years after her body was found
November 14, 2014 at 3:27 PM
KNOWLTON — Investigators were confident, at first, that she
would be identified. Somebody would have to know something about
a dead teenager with the distinctive tattoo dumped near a rural
New Jersey highway.
But 23 years later, the “Tiger Lady” remains unidentified – and
the New Jersey State Police are releasing new sketches in the
hope of bringing attention to the unsolved cold case.

The “Tiger Lady” remains unidentified – and the New Jersey State
Police are releasing new sketches in the hope of bringing
attention to the unsolved cold case.
A sketch artist has drawn new renderings of what the young woman
must have looked like in 1991, at the time she was apparently
killed and abandoned.
“We can reach a half million people or more through social
media. Please like and share this post. Someone knows
something,” troopers said over a Facebook post.
The woman’s body was found partially decomposed by the side of
I-80 in Knowlton Township on Oct. 26, 1991. She was white, age
17 to 19, and she was petite – somewhere between 4 feet 10
inches to 5 feet 1 inch, and weighing 95 to 110 pounds. She was
stripped of clothes, jewelry and earrings from several piercings
in her ears. But the most unique feature remained a tantalizing
clue to investigators – a crouching Bengal tiger crawling down
the calf of her left leg, authorities said.
Authorities dubbed her “the Tiger Lady,” and confidently
followed leads, put out lines to find out who she was, using the
tattoo as an important identifier. But the days, weeks, and then
months dragged on, and nothing came back.
[​IMG]Investigators found that the "Tiger Lady's" namesake
tattoo was not rare - and was probably done by someone who was
not a professional artist, they said early in the
investigation.NJ State Police
“For the first few months, we all were feeling good that there
was such an identifier as the tattoo, and we thought it would be
only a matter of days until we identified this person,''
Detective Richard Clayton, of the Warren County Prosecutor's
Office, told The Star-Ledger at the time.
“We’re getting to a point now where we’re not getting a break,”
said State Police Detective Christopher Andreychak, back in
1992.
The body was decomposed to the point that police were unsure of
how the woman died, they said at the time.
The tattoo itself was a focus of the investigation – but didn’t
lead anywhere. The detectives on the case found it wasn’t rare,
and wasn’t of high quality, probably having been done by a
nonprofessional, someone who was just learning the business,
they told The Star-Ledger at the beginning of the investigation.
In 1993, authorities told the newspaper they suspected that the
“Tiger Lady” might be connected to the infamous serial killer
Joel Rifkin, who was eventually convicted of killing nine women
in the New York area – but who is suspected in 17 or more
murders.
The “Tiger Lady” is not alone in the Warren County area. In
1982, a girl was found bludgeoned to death in a Blairstown
cemetery, and she came to be known as “Princess Doe.” In 1997,
and less than a mile from where the Tiger Lady was found, the
headless torso of a woman was found floating in Columbia Lake.
However, that victim was later identified as Rosa Delgado, a
Hartford, Conn. woman who was last seen heading to a store with
her 4-year-old daughter to buy diapers. Her murder was never
solved – and the girl was never found.
