Can't stop thinking of this:
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. -- Sheriff's investigators who are looking into the grisly death of woman found on a Douglas County road Monday morning said the only significant clue they have to her identity is a photograph found near her body.
The woman's mangled, naked body was discovered along Surrey Drive near the Surrey Ridge subdivision, at about 2:39 a.m., police said.
A winding drag mark, consisting of tire marks and blood, stretched for about 2 miles -- from Interstate 25 exit 191 to the area in the road where woman's body was found, 7News reported.
Authorities said it appeared as if she had been dragged behind a vehicle. Her face was so disfigured that she could not be identified so the Douglas County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help.
The victim was described as a white, Hispanic or Native American woman with a short stature and stocky build. She was in her 30s and had fair to medium skin. She was 5 feet tall and 130 to 140 pounds. Her auburn hair, which may have been dyed, was shoulder-length or slightly longer. She had hazel or green eyes.
Investigators said the woman's description did not match any missing person reports in Douglas County but they will be checking national databases as well.
During the search of the crime scene, a photograph of a couple was found. The couple is pictured standing against a wall, possibly attending a party, authorities said.
The photograph may or may not be related to the incident but the sheriff's office is asking the individuals in the photograph or anyone who knows the individuals in the photograph to call the Douglas County Sheriff's Office at 303-660-7579.
Authorities said that local residents need not worry about a possible killer in the neighborhood.
"I don't think there's anything to be concerned about. I think the individual came to this area to dump the body," said Undersheriff Tony Spurloch.
Nevertheless, the gruesome crime has offended and disturbed neighbors.
"It doesn't even fit in my mind. I can't even believe that. I can't even think that there are actually people in the world who would do that kind of stuff, it's absolutely horrific," said resident Nancy Foley.
"I get out, got strobe lights in my eyes -- flashing lights, you know. I come out, look and there's a bag down there on the street. It's a little nerve-wracking," said resident Bradley Dawson.
The cause of the woman's death will not be known until an autopsy has been conducted. And until her identity is known, authorities won't know who killed her or why.
Detectives spent most of the morning walking the road collecting pieces of clothing that had fallen off her and other evidence.
According to the sheriff's office, a man called authorities at 2:39 a.m. to report finding the woman's body on the road near his house. Her body was found in a massive pool of blood in the middle of the street. There was so much blood spilled on the concrete that street sweepers could not remove it all and authorities will need to hire a private contractor to take care of it.
According to the evidence at the scene, it appeared that the vehicle that had dragged the woman had exited I-25 at the Surrey Ridge exit and then continued west, until her body was left in the middl of the middle of quiet residential neighborhood.
Deputies had blocked off a large area and command post was set up on one end of the subdivision at Corral Lane and North Surrey Drive while the investigation progressed. Exit 191 from I-25 was closed for part of the morning while the investigation continued.
