Police in North Carolina are searching for clues after an unidentified woman’s body was found in the driveway of a stranger’s home.
The victim was discovered Monday morning at a house on Bright Street in Goldsboro, about an hour southeast of Raleigh in Wayne County. Emergency dispatchers received a call just after 9:30 a.m. from 50-year-old Rodney Daniels, who said he discovered the body after coming home from his girlfriend’s house.
“It looks like there is a rotting corpse on my driveway,” he said in the 911 recording. “It looks like the legs was cut off.... If you could send a cop down, it doesn’t look good.”
The police report indicates the victim is a white female, but a spokesperson for the Goldsboro Police Department said they do not know the victim’s age. She declined to provide any additional information beyond the report.
Police confirmed they were investigating a deceased person in the 300 block of Bright Street in a news release Monday and are asking for the public’s help identifying a vehicle believed to be connected. The car appears to be a dark-colored sedan with a sunroof.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Goldsboro/Wayne County Crime Stoppers at 919-735-2255 or submit a TIP at p3tips.com.
