CLAYTON — Authorities are asking for help finding a 12-year-old Clayton girl reported missing on Saturday.
Autumn Pasquale was last seen leaving her home on West High Street around 12:30 p.m. Saturday, borough Police Capt. Lisa MacDonald said.
She was riding her white Odyssey BMX bicycle, MacDonald said, adding her relatives reported her missing around 9:30 p.m.
Pasquale is white, about five feet, two inches tall (although a Facebook post says she's five feet, four inches tall) and weighing about 120 pounds. She has blue eyes and blonde hair, which she was wearing in a pony tail or bun when last seen, police said.
BODY FOUND
CLAYTON, N.J. (AP) — The small New Jersey town where a missing girl's body is believed to have been found has turned from desperate searching to mourning.
Officials say a body preliminarily identified as 12-year-old Autumn Pasquale (pas-KWAHL'-ee) was found in a recycling bin in Clayton around 10 p.m. Monday.
That was about 48 hours after her family reported her missing and two hours after community members gathered blocks away for a candlelight vigil filled with both tears and hope.
On Tuesday morning, Clayton Mayor Thomas Bianco asked that the family be given room to grieve.
An autopsy was to be conducted Tuesday. No arrests have been announced in the case.
This is incredibly sad.
