The heartrending discovery of a 12-year-old girl’s remains in New Britain has been confirmed by her family. The remains, found earlier this week, have been identified as Jacqueline Torres, as stated by her father. The discovery was made outside an abandoned house on Clark Street on Wednesday.
Jacqueline’s father last saw his daughter on her birthday, January 29. His subsequent attempts to reach her were unsuccessful, leading the family to fear that Jacqueline, affectionately known as “Mimi,” may have been deceased for several months.
The local police are diligently investigating the case, striving to establish a timeline leading up to the grim discovery. A memorial, steadily growing at the site, mirrors the community’s shock and grief over the tragic loss.
The community is struggling to come to terms with the loss of Jacqueline. One local resident, expressing disbelief, commented, “She was just a child.” As the investigation continues, the community has rallied together to remember Jacqueline. Messages of love and remembrance now decorate the site where her remains were found.
The medical examiner’s office is currently conducting an autopsy to determine the cause of Jacqueline’s death. The New Britain Police Department is expected to provide updates on the case as the investigation progresses. Authorities are following all leads, and the possibility of arrests has not been ruled out.
The investigation remains active, with the community anxiously awaiting answers. The tragic story has deeply affected many, and the community is united in their quest for justice for Jacqueline. Updates will be shared as the investigation progresses.
