Marcotte, an employee at Google’s New York City office and Boston University alumna, went missing during a jog while visiting her mother in Princeton on August 7.

Marcotte, who lived in the Big Apple and was in Princeton last weekend to visit her parents, was found beaten and burned about seven hours after she disappeared following an afternoon run on August 7.

The district attorney has said the public should be careful and vigilant. Several of the Google account manager’s colleagues attended and arrived on a large bus.

A wake was held Monday night for the 27-year-old who graduated with honors from Boston University. Marcotte is expected to be buried at Woodside Cemetery in Westminister, according to ABC 7 NY.

The Google account manager was found dead August 7 in the woods near her mother’s Princeton home.

The family has asked those interested in making a donation in Marcotte’s memory to give to Harlem Grown, a NY charity, Tutoring Plus of Cambridge, and the Matt Light Foundation for Crohn’s Disease.
