Sunday, police identified the body of Jenna Lord in Camden, New Jersey; Lord was a mother who lived in Collingdale, Pennsylvania and had been missing since July 5. Family members and friends were unsatisfied with what the police had done on Lord’s case and began their own search, and they found her body in a vacant parking lot just two hours after the search began.
Lord, 23, was last seen July 5 at a train station in Camden waiting for a train to Pennsylvania. She had been to a party the night before with friends. Lord has been described as a troubled young woman who had recently began to turn her life around.
Lord’s mother told HLN that her cell phone died over the weekend, and she borrowed a man's phone at the train station to call her mother while she was waiting for a train. Her mother missed the phone call, but called the man’s cell phone back later that day. The man told her that Jenna "looked a little scared," and said that he had given her some money for her train ticket and he was at the train station with her until his train arrived.
"His train came a minute before hers, and he got on his train and I guess he figured she would get on her train, but she never got home," Caruso, Jenna’s mother said.
Caruso saw surveillance video that showed her daughter walking around the train station, while two men followed closely behind her.
"It looked like they were saying something to her," Caruso said of the tape. "She looked back and then she just kept walking, and that's the end [of the tape]."

This is tragic...poor thing.
This is what happens to women who act and dress like her. She is a single mom and is taking a train (alone) to party? She obviously could care less about her kid and cared a lot more about sex by the way she dresses (as seen in the photo) and where she was coming from (without enough money.) How stupid can single moms (and dads) get? Wake up, this happens a lot!
Yikes, so let's blame the victim. Regardless of her circumstances, I don't think she deserved to be a victim of what appears to be a crime.
It doesn't matter how often it happens! That doesn't take away from the tragedy that it is! "Trouble", for you to make judgements against someone you know nothing about based on how they dress or how much money they have in the face of a serious tragedy... That is just so wrong. You should be ashamed for saying such horrible things. This is just so sad.
I hope there is a hell as I'm sure it holds a special place for people like "Trouble". Poor girl, may she rest in peace, and her family find the answers they seek.
"Trouble" don't even bother responding, I have no time for people so full of ugliness.
