Authorities say they will need to use dental records to identify a body found this week near an apartment complex where a missing southern New Jersey woman lived.

The body was found late Monday morning in Gloucester Township by authorities searching for 59-year-old Carol Reiff, who was reported missing by her family last weekend.

But Camden County prosecutors announced Tuesday that the condition of the remains has hampered their efforts to positively identify the body. Once that happens, they plan to release more details on the case.

Reiff had spoken with relatives on Thursday about traveling to see them in Manahawkin, but failed to arrive as expected. Her vehicle was found in front of her unit at the Lakeview Apartments.
