On July 12, 2015, 18-year-old Tiffany Valiante was struck and killed by a New Jersey Transit train, leaving investigators to label her death a suicide. An autopsy, rape kit, and DNA test were never conducted despite the lack of clothing and shoes on her body when she was found. Tiffany’s family has been working for five years to prove that her death was not a suicide, but that she was murdered. With the help of independent pathologists and the D’Amato Law Firm, the pursuit to prove the murder of Tiffany still continues. Sunday marks the five-year anniversary of Tiffany’s death, as well as the annual celebration of her life at the Valiante home in Mays Landing. The Valiante family, as well as those who have been working closely on the case, will continue to investigate until justice for Tiffany has been served. To read more click here.
