Summary

What happened, as the record shows.

Greta Tim, 14, disappeared from her family's home in Irvington, New Jersey on July 27, 2008. Because she had a history of running away, she was classified as a runaway when she was first reported missing, and she was later reclassified as an endangered missing child. On April 12, 2012 landscapers discovered her remains in an isolated area on Sylvan Way in Parsippany, New Jersey. Her death was classified as a homicide, and the case is described in coverage as open but cold. Very few details about the investigation have ever been released, and no one has been arrested or charged.
