Woman's body found floating in Huntsman Lake, Springfield, Va

"SPRINGFIELD, Va. (WJLA) - Kayakers paddled upon the body of an adult woman floating in Huntsman Lake Sunday, authorities said."

"At approximately 1 p.m., first responders boarded an inflatable boat and closely examined the woman's body. She was floating face down about 15 feet from the shoreline. It appeared she was wearing blue jeans and a grey tank top. The main question: was this purely accidental or something sinister?

"The person was clearly dead and had been here for some time," Fairfax County Police Department spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell said. "Are there any missing adults? Has anybody called-in today or recently, regarding somebody that might be missing...? That's where [our detectives] begin and then they'll go from there."

Woman's body found in suitcase in Kent, WA http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Full-on-mystery-Womans-body-found-in-suitcase-in-Kent-park-307597121.html

KENT, Wash. - The King County sheriff's office is investigating after a woman's body was found in a suitcase at a park in Kent last month.

Detective Jason Houck said Tuesday that a man discovered a suitcase in a park along Frager Road South near the Green River Bridge on May 27. Houck says the man opened the suitcase, found a body tucked inside and called police.

Houck says they're investigating "suspicious circumstances" around the death. He says the King County medical examiner's office hasn't determined the cause of death.

Houck described it as "a full-on mystery." She did not have obvious injuries and is believed to have died during the first week of May.

Authorities are seeking the public's help in identifying her.

She is described as being Caucasian, probably between 50 to 60 years of age, with a small build, about 5-feet-4-inches tall and weighing about 106 pounds. Her shoulder-length hair was black in color with gray streaks.

The victim wore full dentures but none were recovered. When found she was wearing sleeping-type clothes, a purple short-sleeve shirt with flowers and an adult diaper.

She had no injuries and was described as being properly nourished, but had cirrhosis of the liver due to long term heavy alcohol consumption, based on the autopsy. She also had no scars, marks, or tattoos.

Anyone who believes they have information on the identity of the woman is urged to call the King County Sheriff’s Office at (206) 296-3311. The phone is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Sketch and a picture of the shirt the woman was wearing at the link.

On Sunday evening, hours after Emanuel A.M.E. Church opened its doors for the first service following the killing of nine of its congregants Wednesday, thousands in Charleston took to the streets in a show of support and solidarity. A line of people packed Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, stretching more than two miles from the town of Mount Pleasant to the city of Charleston.
