An adult woman with a height of 4'11" is a very small woman. Asian women are sometimes in this height range. Fort Lee and Palisades Park have the highest concentration of Korean people in the United States. Many of these people are not documented. It is very possible that this woman could be a small Korean woman. If she was undocumented, there would be no record of her being in the United States. It would be very easy for someone to murder an undocumented Korean woman and she would not be reported as missing.
