BALTIMORE (AP) - Foul play was likely involved in the death of a missing 72-year-old woman whose body was discovered in a Baltimore home, according to police.

Officers were called to the North Baltimore home around 5 p.m. Tuesday to follow up on a missing persons report and found the body of Lillian Herndon inside, Baltimore police said in a statement Wednesday.

Officials said there were “obvious signs of foul play” at the scene.



The department did not comment further on the circumstances leading to the woman’s death, but said homicide detectives are actively pursuing leads.
