I am wondering because it seems like there is evidence next to and under it.
 
Is that a police car?

Great point! Also, it looks like at some point LE backed the car up to better see the evidence- as seen from the helicopter shot from margarita25.

Fox 31 website: Hiker finds body of murdered woman on Lookout Mountain

http://kdvr.com/2014/05/08/hiker-finds-body-of-murdered-woman-on-lookout-mountain/

According to Fox 31- the hiker who found the body is a retired police officer who said the woman was stabbed.

Thanks for this link, Rhino-Esq. :)

Also from this article:

&#8220;We don&#8217;t know if the crime occurred there [on Lookout Mountain] or if the body was left there. We do know it&#8217;s not a suicide or natural death,&#8221; says spokeswoman Jacki Kelley.

It&#8217;s a popular area and detectives want to talk to anyone who may have been near the area during the last couple of days."
