TOMS RIVER, N.J. - A naked body unearthed from a shallow grave was identified as that of a 16-year-old girl believed murdered by a family acquaintance, authorities said Wednesday. Officers with search dogs found the body Tuesday in the woods about two miles from Brittney Gregory's house in Brick Township. She was last heard from on July 11, when she called her mother. Jack Fuller, 38, a friend of Brittney's father, has been charged with murder and jailed on $1 million bail. He has a history of drug and theft-related arrests and got out of prison last year. "We are absolutely convinced that he's the guy who did it," said prosecutor Robert Gasser. (Associated Press)<p>***And so, apparently, is the Associated Press.***
