Annapolis, MD – Maryland State Police are investigating after a woman was found dead near U.S. Route 50 in Anne Arundel County earlier this week.
According to Maryland State Police, troopers from the Annapolis Barrack responded shortly before 5 p.m. Sunday to a report of a disabled vehicle along the eastbound side of the highway. Investigators said they discovered a woman lying unresponsive in a grassy area off the roadway. The vehicle that prompted the call was determined to be unrelated to the incident.
Authorities said the woman’s identity has not been positively confirmed. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is conducting an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death. Investigators said the case may be linked to an ongoing missing persons report in Prince George’s County.
