Michael Rumberger, 34, of Jersey City, was found dead inside the trunk of a Lincoln Town Car on the evening of Saturday, December 7, 2019. Bayonne police located the vehicle near 17th Street and John F. Kennedy Boulevard after a report of possible criminal activity. Rumberger had suffered significant trauma to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators tied his death to two suspects identified as David Anderson, 47, and Francine Graham, 50. Rumberger worked as a livery driver and had reportedly picked up the pair; authorities believe an altercation occurred, Rumberger was shot and killed, and his body was placed in the trunk of his own car, which was later abandoned several miles from the scene of the initial confrontation.

Days after Rumberger’s body was recovered, the same suspects went on to kill a Jersey City police detective, Joseph Seals, and then carried out a deadly attack at a kosher supermarket, killing three more people before they were killed in a shootout with police. No arrests were possible for Rumberger’s murder because the suspects died. Did anyone who knew Michael, his work routine, or where he picked up fares that night see anything unusual on December 7?
