A nursery teacher has been found dead and buried in a shallow grave a day after she was reported missing by her employer.
Authorities recovered the body of Luz Hernandez, 33, in a remote part of a New Jersey town in the US after police were called for a welfare check at her home.
She was exhumed by "what appeared to be a shallow grave," in Kearny, a semi-desolate industrial area in New Jersey, and was pronounced dead at the scene, a statement from the prosecutor’s office read.
