New Castle police have identified the body of a young woman discovered across from the New Castle County Airport on Tuesday and are continuing to investigate her death.
The victim, identified as 23-year-old Kimberly Quade, of Dover, was found between a gas station and a farmers market on the 100 block of Sunset Boulevard, 6 ABC reports. According to police, the discovery was made by a man exiting a bus around 6 a.m. on his way to work.
Investigators say Quade appeared to have bruises on the front of her head and was partially undressed, wearing only one shoe, a pink top and disheveled jeans.
