News ReportAfter several days of worrying for my daughter, I was advised by a church member to file a police report. To my unfortunate surprise when I arrived at the Jersey City Police station, the officers presented me with devastating news. I came to give information about my child but when I gave the description of what she looked like, the officer showed me what would be the last picture of my daughter.

The last time I saw her alive and well was Wednesday November 9th at our Jersey City home. The officer then told me that she was found deceased in a dumpster 2 miles away from home with no identification or phone. She sat as a Jane Doe for several days prior to when I arrived to the police station Wednesday morning. She was my youngest and only daughter, she was loving, kind, free spirited and extremely creative. She just turned 18 on June 6 and she was a committed and proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. This fundraiser is to raise money for her home going ceremony. In memory of Lucka Maherling Joseph.
