SHELLSBURG, Iowa (AP) – Iowa authorities are investigating the death of a woman whose body was found near a stolen truck that had crashed north of Shellsburg. The truck was stolen Sunday in Benton County, in eastern Iowa. Two men who were examining the truck after it was found soon noticed blood on a door handle and then saw a blood trail away from the truck. They followed the blood and found the woman’s body.

The Iowa Department of Public Safety said this (Monday) morning, that the unidentified white female died from injuries consistent with foul play. Her name was being withheld pending notification of family.
