I am heartbroken to share that police have confirmed that the body recovered yesterday afternoon near the George Washington Bridge has been positively identified as TCNJ senior Paige Aiello. This is devastating news for our campus community, its magnitude compounded as we reach the end of the academic year.

We have been in contact with Paige’s family and friends and are providing support. Staff members from Counseling and Psychological Services have been in touch with Paige’s housemates and team members, and are available to all members of the campus community. Again, I want to strongly encourage any students in need of support to contact the Office of Counseling and Psychological Services in Eickhoff Hall, Room 107 by calling 609-771-2247. Faculty and staff are encouraged to utilize the Employee Assistance Program in Forcina Hall, Room 124 by calling 609-771-2139 or emailing eap@tcnj.edu.

Please join me in continuing to keep Paige, her family, and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers as we all endure this tragic resolution.

I am deeply saddened to share that media outlets are reporting that police have recovered the body of an unidentified female from the shoreline of the Hudson River near the George Washington Bridge. Though we do not have confirmation that the individual is Paige Aiello, this development is alarming and absolutely heartbreaking.

I also want to urge any students, faculty, or staff in need of support to contact the Office of Counseling and Psychological Services in Eickhoff Hall, Room 107 by calling 609-771-2247.

We also encourage any students, faculty, or staff in need of support to contact the Office of Counseling and Psychological Services in Eickhoff Hall, Room 107 by calling 609-771-2247. Please join us in keeping Paige, her family, and all her loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.

Missing person investigation – April 11, 2013

Emily W. Dodd — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 18:07:15 +0000

Yesterday morning, the Office of Campus Police Services learned of a missing person investigation related to TCNJ student Paige Aiello. An announcement was distributed to campus encouraging anyone with information pertinent to the investigation to contact either the Hillsborough Police Department or TCNJ Police. Further effort was made to contact Paige’s known friends, teammates, and other acquaintences in order to gather information and offer counseling and support services during this stressful time. Earlier today, media outlets reported on the recovery of Paige’s personal belongings and a vehicle she may have been driving. While TCNJ cannot confirm the accuracy of those reports, we understand that they are reason for concern. We would, again, like to encourage anyone with information relating to this missing person investigation to call the Hillsborough Township Police Department at 908-369-4323, the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office at 908-575-3300, or TCNJ Campus Police at 609-771-2345.
