A romantic camping getaway in the New Jersey woods allegedly turned into a nightmare when a Bergen County man burned his girlfriend and abandoned her in the wilderness, authorities say.
Justin D. Martin, 36, of Saddle Brook, faces attempted murder and aggravated arson charges following the horrifying Oct. 15 attack in the Colliers Mills area of Plumsted township.
According to court documents, the badly injured woman managed to find a worker in the woods and desperately begged him to call 911.
The call came at 1:36 pm.
She told the worker her boyfriend had tried to kill her and burn her before fleeing in a Chrysler 200, according to the court reports.
Emergency crews found the woman conscious but suffering from burns and smoke inhalation.
She was intubated and flown to Temple University Burn Center in Philadelphia, where she was later reported in stable condition.
**SNIP**
Jersey’s sprawling Pine Barrens is the home of the mythical creature, the Jersey Devil.

Lord have mercy on her! My brother was burned over 50% of his body. He survived by the grace of God.

Jersey’s sprawling Pine Barrens is the home of the mythical creature, the Jersey Devil. And a favorite Soprano's stomping ground [literally and figuratively].

I’m a retired correctional officer, and this guy has “convict” written all over his face. I would say he’s spent time inside. I’d be interested if any Freeper LE personal see the same things in his photo.

It’s the age-old story of a wife taking a husband on a nice out-of town weekend just to get rid of him in reverse.

The Sopranos is fiction. The Jersey Devil is not. Knowing the difference might save your life.
