Decades after a woman was killed and her body was dumped in the woods of New Jersey, a suspect has been extradited from Canada to face murder charges, according to law enforcement. It was an ATV rider who had found Tignor’s body on the dirt access road that ended in a cul-de-sac, Somerset County Prosecutor John McDonald said. Bridgewater police and Somerset County investigators searched the woods for days, looking for any evidence or clues that could lead them to the killer. Tammy Tignor Somerset County Prosecutor's OfficeDNA evidence found on the Newark woman’s body provided no answers. A first-degree murder charge against Creter was authorized in May 2023, the prosecutor’s office said, but there was an issue: Creter had since moved to Winnipeg, Canada, in 2002.
