Police: Woman’s Body was in Dumpster

Woodbridge, Va. –– The body found inside of a trash dumpster in Woodbridge on Wednesday is that of a woman believed to between 20 and 40-years-old.

Police said the body was badly burned when it was discovered by fire crews called to extinguish an outside fire about 10 a.m. Wednesday, in the 1300 block of Bayside Avenue.

Police say they don’t know the woman’s race, but do say the victim weighed 120 to 140 pounds, had dark, straight hair and was possibly missing her front left tooth, said Prince William police spokesman Jonathan Perok.

While those are the results of the state medical examiner’s autopsy report, police still don’t know how the woman died.

They are asking anyone who may be able to identify the victim to come forward.

They’re also seeking a suspect in the case that may have suffered injuries to their face, arms, or had singed hair at the time the fire was started, said Perok.

Residents in the Bayvue neighborhood where the body was found say they witnessed nothing unusual prior to the discovery of the body.

The dumpster in which the body was found sits next to a community center where children play, say neighbors.
