Wilmington Police request public assistance in connection with death investigation: 
Wilmington Police are requesting the assistance of the public in connection with a death investigation.
On March 4 at approximately 5:59 p.m., police were dispatched to the 1100 block of East 7th Street in reference to a deceased person on the banks of the Christina River. Upon arrival, officers located the decomposed remains of an unknown individual, and the remains were turned over to the Delaware Division of Forensic Sciences.
Following an autopsy, investigators learned that the victim was a white female believed to be between the ages of 25 and 35, and could have possibly been in the river since December. While there were no immediate signs of foul play, the victim’s cause of death has not yet been determined.
Police are sharing photos of two tattoos on the victim’s body, and are asking members of the public to contact investigators if they have any information about her identity.
Anyone with information can contact Detective James Rook of the WPD Criminal Investigations Division at (302) 576-3621 or [email protected].
