JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (AP) - Investigators have identified a decomposed body found by workers alongside a Pennsylvania highway and ruled the woman’s death a homicide.

Police identified the woman Thursday as 33-year-old Laura Rebecca Ingalls-Hood. Her body was found Monday along Pennsylvania Route 711 in Fairfield Township. A coroner previously told The (Johnstown) Tribune-Democrat it appeared the body had been there at least a week.

Police have not said how the woman died.
