confirmed to be human:

http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/local/new_jersey&id=8366136

the story mentions "fowl play". you'd think professional journalists would edit before they go online.

My heart is absolutely broken for Randy's family and friends as they endure this.

 

[shefner]

These stories make you wish for a faster death penalty.....

sadly it must be her in the barrel. I mean not many people are found dead inside a barrel filled with cement no less in the same building she was last seen in.

If this is Randy, I'm concerned about how LE will get the 10-month-old baby away from the husband before they arrest him. A situation such as this is always extremely tricky to handle ...

doesn't say much for the Jersey City Police Dept.

one example of local chatter is found in the article:


"We were there when they brought out a lot of bags, the drum and other stuff," wrote one friend. "The smell was beyond what words can explain. I don't understand how the police didn't check the basement. And if they did, why didn't they look into the drum. JCPD has a lot of answering to do... Why am I not surprised. Neighbors were out there saying that the smell had been more & more potent in the past few days. I pray her family looks to God for comfort and that they find some kind of closure in giving her a respectful burial at a place where her daughter may go to in the future. RIP Amanda..."

Oh no. Poor woman, poor baby.. How horrific.

 

[shefner]

Do they have that child away from the father yet? That would be priority number one!

I sure hope so, but I haven't found anything saying where the baby is.

Maybe somebody on the FB page would know.

Here's the FB. There are people on there who know Amanda.

So it took over a month for them to find this 55 gallon drum in the basement of the apartment building she lived in? The same apartment building where they went and searched for her? Seems really odd they would not have found this in the initial search. Hubby had already been arrested on unrelated charges.....why would he leave it there? Seems odd IMO.

Moncarz said police initially identified her daughter by her tattoos.

Randy's mother hopes to bring the baby to Canada with her. not sure of the process, however.

Reported on NewJersey 12 news channel:

... prosecutors say that human remains found in a Jersey City apartment building belong to a missing woman, Amanda Lehrer, who was reported missing last month, after allegedly getting into a fight with her husband, Steven Acuna...

Her death has now been ruled a homicide, and her husband, Steven Acuna, has been charged with the woman's murder. The woman leaves behind an 11-month-old daughter.

We'll have much more to report this evening at 10:00.

Good to hear the prosecutor's office finally interrupted its very busy weekend to declare that the body was indeed Amanda's, that this was a homicide, and to inform the public of Acuna's arrest. :waitasec:

A Jersey City man has been charged with killing his wife after police discovered her remains inside of a 55-gallon cement-filled drum in the home they once shared, authorities said.

Steven Acuna now faces murder charges after police made the grisly discovery of Randy "Amanda" Lehrer&#8217;s remains inside the couple&#8217;s former Charles Street residence on Friday night, Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said.
