Police seek public’s help in identifying woman found in Christina River
WILMINGTON– Authorities are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a woman whose remains were discovered along the Christina River earlier this month. According to the Wilmington Police Department, officers responded to the 1100 block of East 7th Street on March 4 at approximately 5:59 p.m. after receiving a report of a deceased person. Upon arrival, officers found the decomposed remains of an unidentified individual along the riverbank. The remains were handed over to the Delaware Division of Forensic Sciences for further examination. An autopsy determined that the victim was a white female, believed to be between 25-35 years old. Investigators suspect she may have been in the river since December. While there were no immediate signs of foul play, officials have not yet determined her cause of death. In an effort to identify the woman, police have released images of two tattoos found on her body. They are urging anyone who may recognize the tattoos or have information about the victim’s identity to come forward.
