dem find her body
NEWARK, N.J. -- A body discovered on a riverbank last month has been identified as the daughter of a man who is accused of throwing her off a bridge in February.
DNA testing has confirmed that Zara Malani-Lin Abdur-Raheem's body was found on the bank of the Raritan River on April 24, New Jersey Attorney General Paula Dow said Monday. The 3-month-old had been missing since February, when her biological father allegedly abducted her and threw her from a Garden State Parkway bridge while the girl's mother sought a restraining order against him.
Prosecutors believe Shamsid-Din Abdur-Raheem killed the baby hours after taking her from her grandmother's apartment in East Orange. Abdur-Raheem, 21, of Galloway Township in southern New Jersey, has pleaded not guilty to murder and other charges and is being held on $2.7 million bail.
The case prompted a review of the state's Amber Alert guidelines after it was discovered that no alert was issued during a 4-hour window between the child's abduction and Abdur-Raheem's arrest.
