An autopsy has determined the identity of a woman whose body was found last Wednesday in rural Union County. Authorities say a hunter discovered the body of 37-year-old Loretta Dillinger, of Thayer, in a pond northwest of Lorimor. A cause of death has not been released, but it is being treated as suspicious.

According to KCCI, a bow hunter found Dillinger’s body partially submerged in a farm pond so deep in timber that it couldn’t be seen from the roadway. The man thought it was a cow or deer in the water, but when he got closer, he saw human feet and legs. The body was partially decomposed.  Dillinger’s car was found nearby.

There was no missing person’s report filed, and investigators are trying to figure out the last time anyone saw her. Officials with the DCI and Department of Public Safety continue to assist the Union County Sheriff’s Office with their investigation.
