New Jersey woman found dead at her home during lunch break
A 26-year-old New Jersey woman was found dead in her apartment — after neighbors recalled hearing faint screams and furniture moving, according to reports.
Carolyn Byington had left work to go home for lunch on Monday but never returned, prompting coworkers to ask cops to do a wellness check, ABC 7 reported.
She was found dead in her apartment in Plainsboro just before 6 p.m., the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office said. Authorities did not say how she died.
Neighbors in the Hunters Glen apartment complex told ABC they recalled hearing faint screams and the sound of furniture being moved — but it’s unclear if anyone called 911.
They said they hadn’t seen anyone leave the apartment.
Other residents told News 12 they heard the screams coming from Byington’s apartment around 1 p.m.
Byington’s death was ruled a homicide and authorities are investigating.
She worked at Engine, a marketing firm in Princeton.
“Engine is in mourning over this shocking, senseless tragedy,” the company said in a statement. “Carolyn was deeply cared about by her colleagues. We extend our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to her family and friends.”
