There have been several reported carjackings at the chic mall in the past few years, according to the Star-Ledger.
The news reports I've heard today indicate that it was found in a garage in Newark. From that photo it looks like it was found in a residential neighborhood.
This is where the law enforcement angle starts to get interesting. For better or worse, those parts of New Jersey are filled with non-violent criminals who manage to stay out of jail by being cooperative (quietly, of course) with the police whenever a high-profile crime like this brings serious heat on the neighborhood. The police know exactly who these people are, and they will roll them over to identify the two perps very quickly (if they haven't done so already).
A carjacking is one thing, but a murder in the parking garage at an upscale shopping mall will bring the kind of bad press and public scrutiny that would rival even an al-Qaeda terrorist attack.
It's a pretty old (and effective) method of solving crimes. I just thought I'd throw that out there ... for anyone who is wondering how someone like Al Sharpton has managed to keep his nose so clean over the years.
Why, Al hasn’t gotten the “mark of the squealer” still mystifies me!
