Elizabeth Clenor was a 30-year-old Black woman from East Orange, New Jersey, a daughter and mother of two who had gone to a McDonald’s on a cold February day in 1992 to apply for work. She never returned home. On the evening of February 15, 1992, while walking back from the restaurant, she was abducted by 25-year-old parolee Jerome Dennis.

Her remains were found on April 10, 1992, clustered with other victims along the parkway, which led investigators to treat the deaths as the work of a single predator. Dennis—paroled in November 1991 after serving time for rape, armed robbery, and related crimes—was arrested at his East Orange home in the early hours of April 12 or 13 and charged with five murders, including Elizabeth’s. He later confessed and in February 1993 pleaded guilty to multiple counts, receiving multiple life terms with a minimum of sixty years before parole eligibility. No credible evidence has pointed to any other suspect.
