Lt. Brian Davidson of the Grove City Police Department allegedly is sure of the identity of the woman found at Scioto Grove Metro Park.
They are waiting for a positive ID from the coroner’s office before they verify with the media.
They have confirmed with various sources that they are looking for a 1999 silver Acura with tags FGR-8547 from a Columbus missing persons case. The missing person and the individual found dead at Scioto do have similarities according to investigators.
More as this develops.
