The bodies found bound together and floating in the Hudson River were identified as women from Virginia, the NYPD said.
Rotana Farea, 22, and Tala Farea, 16, of Fairfax, Virginia, were identified early Saturday.
Their bodies were found fully clothed and bound in the Hudson River off Riverside Park Wednesday afternoon.
The two women, thought to be between 16 and 18 years old, were found with no signs of trauma, according to officials.
The NYPD released a sketch of both women (below).
NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea said that the pair were taped together at the waist, and both were wearing coats.
The medical examiner’s office said the bodies required more analysis and that the cause and manner of death was still pending.
