New video aims to prompt clues in woman's death

Investigators and Carol Reiff's family released a video Monday recalling the details of her suspicious death two summers ago, hoping to prompt new clues in the unsolved case.

"We appreciate everyone who has come forward to date," Reiff's daughter, Dawn Centanni, says in the nearly six-minute clip, which shows images of Reiff, her apartment, and areas that police had scoured. "But we strongly believe that there is more information to be found."

Reiff, 59, was known among friends as a devoted runner. Her body was discovered on June 24, 2013, in a wooded area near her unit in the Lakeview Apartments, on Lower Landing Road in Gloucester Township. Authorities are investigating her death as if it were a homicide but have not called it that because of a lack of clues.

"It's very frustrating," said John Hunsinger, a detective at the Camden County Prosecutor's Office, at a news conference Monday.

With the video, authorities said, people in the area may remember something they saw but disregarded at the time.

"This is very important to us," Gloucester Township Police Chief Harry Earle said at the news conference. Last summer, he was among nearly 60 people who attended a memorial for Reiff outside the Admiral Insurance Co. building in Cherry Hill, where she had worked in the finance department.

Reiff was last heard from by telephone four days before, when she had plans to visit her daughter's home in Manahawkin, Ocean County, and go to the beach. Family members reported her missing after she never showed up.

"It was completely out of nature for her to not respond to a text message and to not call to tell me she was on her way," Centanni says in the video.

In March 2014, more than 30 police officers handed out fliers and combed the woods near Reiff's apartment for new evidence. Hunsinger said Monday that the search yielded nothing. Authorities have posted a $20,000 reward for tips that lead to the arrest and conviction of a suspect.

Anyone with information is asked to call Hunsinger at 856-365-3239 or Gloucester Township Detective Mike Leach at 856-374-5725.
