JERSEY CITY - The Hudson County Prosecutor's Office and the family of an 81-year-old murder victim are still seeking help in finding her killer, according to reports.
The Hudson County Prosecutor's Office released a black-and-white surveillance video earlier this week showing a man in light clothing with a hood and what appears to be a mask across the bottom of his face walk up to the door at 64A Lexington Ave. and ring the doorbell. The video is from 10 p.m. on Feb. 6, according to the Prosecutor's Office.
Around 10:30 a.m. on Feb. 7, the body of Lucila Cardenas-Viejo was found in her Lexington Avenue home by officers responding to a report of an unresponsive female, Prosecutor Esther Suarez told The Jersey Journal earlier this week.
"He rang the bell and apparently he said something that convinced my mom that she knew him. She unlocked the door and he pushed in," Armando Solorzano, the victim's son, told WABC-TV New York last night about the man in the video.
The family of Cardenas-Viejo also told WABC-TV that the victim was a cancer survivor, and she was ready to sell her home and move back to her native Ecuador after living in New Jersey for more than 30 years. She felt the neighborhood was "too dangerous," according to the report.
