Maria Teresa Ciallella was 17 when she disappeared from Brick Township, New Jersey, on Halloween night, 1981. Early suspicion fell on her husband Michael, but later evidence connected her disappearance to Richard Biegenwald and an accomplice.

Instead of being taken to her destination she was driven to a secluded area and shot multiple times in the head. Her body was then transported to Staten Island and buried in the backyard of Biegenwald’s mother; another of Biegenwald’s victims was reportedly buried on top of Maria. Her remains were recovered after Fitzgerald provided information to investigators.

Biegenwald was convicted for Maria’s murder and other killings; his death sentence was later commuted to life, and he died in prison in 2008. Does anyone have memories or information about Maria’s life in Brick Township or her movements on Halloween 1981?
