OCEAN TOWNSHIP, NJ — An Ocean Township woman remains missing nearly a month after a fire engulfed her home. Monmouth County Crime Stoppers will pay up to $5,000 for information on Jacquelin Terrulli's disappearance, the county prosecutor's office announced Thursday.

Terrulli's home at 86 Wickapecko Drive became fully engulfed in flames Sept. 12. The residents — Terrulli and Ronald Teschner — were nowhere to be found at the scene, the MCPO said.

Authorities found Teschner the next morning in Terrulli's vehicle in Paterson. He had shotguns in the Jeep, the MCPO said. He was seen leaving Monmouth County at about 8 a.m. Sept. 12, about a half hour after authorities responded to the fire, the MCPO said.
