Investigators far from identifying butchered woman

Investigators are still far from identifying the woman whose butchered remains were found strewn along Interstates 80 and 380 on Tuesday. An autopsy today confirmed that the victim is female. We’re awaiting word on her possible age and any distinguishing features.

The woman’s severed head was among body parts found Tuesday. Officials have not said if they plan to release a rendering of her features so that the public may help identify her. They have not released her eye or hair color as of 4 p.m. Investigators describe the woman as light-skinned, meaning they are not sure of her race.

Preliminary tests were done on the remains at Pocono Medical Center yesterday before they were taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital for today’s 9 a.m. autopsy.
