If you have any information about this person, please contact the East Orange Police Department at 973-266-5000.
Side note, there is one additional photo that was put on Lisa’s Charley Project page. It was updated in April of 2020 but I don’t personally see any kind of resemblance and I don’t believe this picture is of Lisa. There is no other context with the photo and I haven’t been able to find any other places in which this picture was posted. Of course I could be wrong. I will provide the photo below. What do you think? Completely different nose shape, face shape and the shape of her lips as well. Even her eyebrow shape doesn’t match.
I also tried to find Lisa on NamUs because it is listed as a source on the Charley Project page but when I typed her name in, no results came up.
