Marisha Cheong
The NYPD has released surveillance footage of Marisha Cheong on the day she disappeared last December, hoping it leads to a break in the murder case of the 24-year-old woman whose body was discovered on the shore of Breezy Point two months after she was reported missing.
Police said the newly released video, which has a timestamp of 11:22 a.m. on Dec. 19, 2013, shows an unidentified woman leading Cheong from the Jamaica apartment on 145th Street where she lived with her boyfriend. Cheong, a student at Long Island University in Brooklyn, was last seen on Dec. 19 around 10:40 a.m. at her apartment, according to the NYPD.
In the surveillance footage, taken from a camera that cops said was across the street from Cheong’s home, the victim is seen walking with the unidentified woman, and at one point the 24-year-old seems to try to walk away but is dragged off.
Cheong’s body washed up in Breezy Point on Feb. 16, police said. She was found wearing one Ugg boot that matched the pair she had been wearing when she went missing, according to police.
Anyone with information about Cheong is asked to call the NYPD at (800) 577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit tips by logging onto nypdcrimestoppers.com.
