A body found naked and burned in Marine Park this weekend was missing 14-year-old Shaniesha Forbes, police said.
The girl was identified today, two days after a 911 caller reported finding her body on a sandy clearing next to a foot path through heavy brush in Marine Park early Sunday morning. She had been reported missing from her Brooklyn home on Friday.
Her body was found near the remains of a bonfire.
No cause of death has been determined but sources said it looked like a homicide.
"She was naked," a source said. "She was burned. She was buried in the sand. It looks bad."
Forbes, a student at the Academy for Young Writers in Williambsurg, was found just over a mile from her home.
The victim was a Justin Bieber fan, according to her Facebook profile, which is plastered with pictures of the teen hearthrob.
