Details are sketchy at this time but 7NEWS understands that the body of a seventy one year old woman believed to be an American national was discovered today inside the small home where she has been living for the past two years in Hopkins Village. The woman has been identified as Murphy Bartilee who worked as a librarian in that southern community.
Police confirm that the body was in an advanced state of decomposition and she was partially nude, wearing only a blouse. The police are not saying much until a post mortem is conducted. That has been set for tomorrow and it has to be conducted at the site due to the state of decomposition.
