Late at night on July 23, 2025, Greene's co-conspirator called 911 and reported that she and Greene had been attacked by three men when they were out walking on a trail at a nature preserve in Egg Harbor Township. According to the co-conspirator, during the attack, the men had called Greene by name and had specifically referenced her employment with Federal Official 1, an official whose identity is known to the Government.
When law enforcement officers located Greene, she was lying in a wooded area just off the trail, with her hands and feet bound together with black zip ties. Greene's shirt was pulled over her head and was also tied with a black zip tie. Greene had numerous lacerations on her face, neck, upper chest, and shoulder. The words "TRUMP WHORE" were written on her stomach and the words "[Federal Official 1] IS RACIST" were written on her back. [Press accounts state that the words written were that Van Drew is racist. -EV] Greene was crying and yelling that one of her alleged attackers had a gun.
