A 30-year-old jogger reported missing by her dad Tuesday afternoon was found dead in a marsh off the Belt Parkway less than half a mile away from her Queens home � and investigators believe she was murdered, police sources said.
Karina Vetrano was discovered deep in the marshes near 161st Ave. and 78th St. in Howard Beach late Tuesday, after cops conducted a massive search for her. Her pants had been pulled down and cops believe she was strangled and sexually assaulted, police sources said.
Cops found her cell phone near a bike path and discovered her body closer to the shoreline.
The city Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy to determine how she was killed.
Neighbors, concerned that Vetrano had met with foul play, said that vagrants live in the woods off the bike path.
