A 45-year-old nanny pulled dead from a park lake in New Jersey a block from her home over the weekend may have been strangled and dumped in the water, her roommate and law enforcement sources familiar with the case tell News 4.

MacCormack had just accompanied two immigrants without legal status to the courthouse to deal with minor traffic citations.
