The Jeep likely has damage to the front passenger side, she added. Detectives don’t yet know the color. Investigators emphasized that they are looking for the Grand Cherokee model, as opposed to the smaller Jeep Cherokee.

Her name is being withheld until the medical examiner is able to confirm her identity through dental records or fingerprints and the woman’s family has been notified.
