A beloved New Jersey kindergarten teacher and mother-of-three was found dead in a shallow grave on Tuesday, hours after investigators found blood splatters at her home.
Luz Hernandez, 33, was last seen on February 4 but wasn't reported missing until Monday February 6 when she failed to show up for work at the BelovED Community Charter School in Jersey City.
Hernandez's body was found in an industrial section of Kearny, surrounded by trucking companies, an area three miles from her home. Police have not said what led them from her home to the area around Central Avenue in the town.
Jersey City Police Department officers went to her home on Tuesday after a missing person's report was filed. Her case was also taken up by the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office.
It's the second murder of a Jersey City teacher in a matter of weeks. In January, Temara King, a teacher at PS-5, was shot dead by her husband in an instance of domestic violence, police said. She was 35 years old.
