FBI needs help identifying dismembered woman’s body found near Camp David
On June 15, the FBI Field Office in Baltimore issued a plea to the public seeking help identifying a woman whose dismembered remains were discovered by hikers at Catoctin Mountain Park in Thurmont, Maryland. Those hikers came across body parts in the 5,000-acre national park on Saturday, June 12.
While an autopsy may help determine if she was the victim of foul play, the fact that her dismembered body turned up about two miles from the presidential retreat at Camp David cannot be ignored, according to WMAR News in Baltimore.
“The National Park Service and the park rangers, the law enforcement branch, definitely it perks their ears with the proximity to Camp David, but for us, it really at this point is not in play, but we understand the sensitivity that comes with that being next to Camp David,” said FBI Special Agent Richard Ruggieri.
The FBI reported that the woman’s cause of death is still pending an autopsy. Based on the condition of the body, it is unclear how long it was there.
The woman had long, dark hair with braids. She was wearing a black track suit, wrist guard, and red Nike shoes. She was also found with a Puma handbag and a set of keys containing an El Salvador keychain. The keychain displayed the words “Love” and “El Salvador.”
