    Official: Body of missing NJ girl believed found

    By GEOFF MULVIHILL | Associated Press – Tue, Oct 23, 2012

    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.

But they are already making the rounds in the court of public opinion, which can influence everything from fundraising efforts to the mind-set of potential jurors in Mr. Zimmerman's murder trial.
