Police: Body found in submerged car is that of missing woman

WALLINGTON, N.J. (AP) — Police say a body found in a car submerged in the Passaic River is that of a missing Passaic woman.

Devorah Stubin was last seen Thursday night when she was stopped by a police officer after she became lost in Maywood. The 22-year-old Stubin, who suffered from a seizure disorder, had left her home earlier that night to pick up her brother at a site on the Garden State Parkway.

Her car was found Saturday night, a few hours after a business owner in Wallington called police to report damage to a fence along the river by his property. Responding officers noticed vehicle debris, prompting a dive team to further investigate.

A cause of death has not been disclosed.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
