Deputies Need Help Solving Mystery After Body Found Along I-25
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4)- Homicide detectives need help solving the mystery after the body of a woman was found on the side of the road along Interstate 25 over the weekend.
Deputies with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office responded to the call of a body alongside the road in the southbound lanes of I-25 at mile marker 167 at the Greenland Exit, south of Larkspur.
The Douglas County Coroner's Office identified the woman as Shelby Weatherly, 24.
The cause and manner of death still remain under investigation, but witnesses who found Weatherly described seeing severe trauma.
"There may have been more than one person involved in this," Deputy Chief Steve Johnson with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office said. "It would be critically important for us to hear from anybody."
Some lanes of southbound I-25 were closed in the area on Saturday morning during the investigation.
"We know there are people out there who may have information," Johnson told CBS4's Kelly Werthmann. "It may seem irrelevant to them, but it may include a car that was along the side of the road and if somebody saw something like that we're just asking them to call us."
