Investigators believe there's damage to the driver's side headlight, windshield and front bumper.

The Cumberland County Prosecutor's office is also looking for a person of interest, 22-year-old Breanna Rowley of Vineland, saying investigators would like to speak with her.

Neighbors say they were heartbroken to learn that someone so young was killed.

"It's like you could be living your life completely normal and just one person comes along and changes all that," said Lauren Grizzard of Millville. "I can't imagine how their family feels because, you know, they probably expected her to return home and she just never came back."

Bump's family is asking for privacy as they grieve and want the focus to remain on the search for the person responsible.

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Christopher Johnson of the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office at609-579-1431.
