The family of 27-year-old Desiree McGraw on Monday marks the fifth anniversary of the date (6/6/06) when she was found shot to death behind the Jericho Fire Company on Mail Avenue in Deptford NJ.

A fire company member discovered her partially-clothed body while checking around the building, which was to be a primary election polling place on that day. Voters were directed elsewhere when the property became a crime scene.

Officers with the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office and the Deptford Police Department have spent many hours and resources on the investigation and are asking the public for help with finding the person or persons responsible for this murder.

A reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction, offered by the GCPO and Deptford PD, was increased last year to $8,000. Anyone with information can contact GCPO Sgt. James Ballenger at (856) 384-5601 or provide an anonymous tip by texting GLOTIP, then the message and CRIMES (274637).

“Desiree’s family deserves some answers and law enforcement wants to deal with whoever committed such a cold-blooded killing,” said Gloucester County Prosecutor Sean F. Dalton.
