Family - of a pregnant woman who was reported missing over the summer in Newark - confirm that the decomposed body found in a Newark building is that of Crystal Passante.
Passante, 26, was reported missing on July 16, after she was last seen leaving her father's home on Ferry Street.
However, on Sept. 18, police found a decomposed body inside an old building in Newark, which was positively identified as Passante on Oct. 13, according to family.
Authorities are awaiting results of toxicology tests to determine the cause of death but no foul play is suspected in the death.
Passante had recently moved back to New Jersey from California and was staying with her father in Newark.
