A tattooed torso that washed up in Brooklyn last week appears to belongs to a 31-year-old New Jersey bar manager whose blood was found in her boyfriends bathtub, according to police and other reports.
Cops believe that the dismembered body is that of Jennifer Londono, 31, of Englewood who has been missing since June 25, according to a police source. DNA tests are being performed, police said.
Police have been questioning the womans boyfriend, sources said. So far, there have been inconsistencies in his story, according to a source.
Londono had a Sanskrit tattoo inked on her torso which read Lily or Lilyann to honor her dead aunt, according to police.
Brooklyn police released an image of the bodys tattoo earlier this week, seeking tips about her identification. Londonos mom told cops that her daughters tattoo matches the one found on the body.
Londono managed the new Luna Lounge on Armory Street and was last seen closing the bar, sources said.
Marcela Toro, 32, a longtime friend of Londono, was devastated Monday.
I am heartbroken, thats all I can say, Toro said.
Toro said she saw Londons tattoo several times because they shared clothes.
She was a loving, sweet person, she had no problems with anybody, she had a lot of friends. Everyone loved her, we still dont understand why someone would do that to her, Toro said.
The torso which was cut off from its waist to its knees was found by a couple walking their dog in the Red Hook Channel last Tuesday, police said.
A leg believed to belong to the torso then washed up Saturday off the Upper West Side.
Cops are searching for the rest of the body, police said Monday.
