Authorities, however, said forensic tests have not yet determined the identity of the woman found in a weed-strewn Long Island parking lot.
As police investigate, relatives of 27-year-old Chinelle Latoya Browne — missing from her Brownsville home since Saturday — believe she is gone.

The plan, he said, was for him to move to the city with their kids after he got his paperwork in order.
