Salvacion Dematera, 45, was last confirmed seen on September 1, 2013, in Freehold, New Jersey. At that time she was living out of her car in the general Freehold area and was seen by friends at her former workplace inside a local mall. Concern grew when contact stopped and a friend reported her missing to the Howell Township Police Department in December 2013.

On January 17, 2014, New Jersey State Police found Salvacion’s vehicle abandoned at the Thomas Edison Service Area on the New Jersey Turnpike in Woodbridge. A search of the immediate area produced no sign of her. Investigators initially said they had no reason to believe she was in immediate danger, and there was an unconfirmed lead that she might have traveled to the New York area.

Few public details fill the gap between the last sighting in Freehold and the car’s discovery on the Turnpike. If anyone knew Salvacion, saw her after September 1, 2013, or has information about movements between Freehold and Woodbridge, please come forward.
