The young woman whose body was found Thursday afternoon inside a minivan in Atlantic City, New Jersey, was probably strangled. The Atlantic County prosecutor says an autopsy will be performed today to determine the official cause of death, but investigators do believe at this point that is how she died. Initially, the prosecutor's office told us that she was shot to death.
We also know the identity of the victim now. Her name is Siddiqah Bryant. She was 23 years old and according to a local councilman, she was a mother.
Bryant's body was found inside the van, which was parked along the 1800 block of Arctic Avenue in Atlantic City.
