Son Arrested After Missing Tribeca Woman Found Dead, Police Say

TRIBECA, NY — A Tribeca woman who was reported missing Feb. 4 has been found dead in New Jersey, police said. The woman's son and two others were arrested and charged with concealment of a corpse.

Paula Chin, 65, of Vestry St., was found dead in Morris Township, New Jersey, on Tuesday.

An NYPD spokesman said the woman's son, Jared Eng, 22, and two others – Jennifer Lopez, 18, of the East Village and Caitlyn O'Rourke, 21, of Patterson, New York – were charged with concealment of a corpse.

Officials are investigating the death as a homicide, according to the Morris County Prosecutor's Office. The body was found at Bailey Hollow Road in Morris Township.

The Medical Examiner is still determining the cause of death and an investigation by the NYPD's First Precinct and Manhattan South Homicide is ongoing.

A source told ABC7 that Chin was killed in her Lower Manhattan apartment and carried in a garbage bag. The woman's body was taken by car to a home she had in New Jersey and her death could have been the result of a family argument about money, ABC7 reported.
