A body found in a recycling container has been preliminarily identified as that of a missing 12-year-old southern New Jersey girl, officials said Tuesday. The Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office said in a statement early Tuesday that the body found 10 p.m. Monday in Clayton is believed to be that of Autumn Pasquale, who was last seen on Saturday. Pasquale was reported missing from her Clayton home at 9:30 p.m. Investigators with the Gloucester County prosecutor's office found the body shortly after an emotional candlelight vigil was held for the girl in her hometown. Bernie Weisenfeld, spokesman for the Gloucester County Prosecutor's office, said Pasquale's family was notified of the discovery. No other information was released, and officials continued their investigation through the night. About 200 law enforcement officials and hundreds more volunteers had searched Monday for Pasquale. At that time, investigators didn't have any suspects or a sure sense of whether the quiet BMX biking enthusiast had left on her own or was the victim of foul play.

Police Department) Close With the girl's parents flanking him while holding back tears at an afternoon news conference, Dalton announced a $10,000 reward for information leading authorities to the girl. Dalton said investigators accounted for all the registered sex offenders in the area, interviewed them and were searching their properties. The weary crew of volunteers, meanwhile, was looking in area malls, handing out fliers at intersections in Clayton's tiny downtown and searching wherever they could. Early Monday, Weisenfeld said the girl's bike had not been found. By the afternoon, Dalton would not say whether it had been located.
