BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) - Yellowstone County officials are investigating a homicide after the body of a missing woman was found in a wooded area outside Laurel.
Sheriff Mike Linder says an autopsy Friday determined the victim was 57-year-old Lori Bray of Laurel. Her body was found Wednesday evening.
Linder declined to release any information about how Bray died because the case is still under investigation. No arrests have been made.
Bray was last seen at about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday leaving her job at a Laurel casino. She was reported missing later Tuesday when she did not show up for work. Her car was found abandoned about 2 miles (3 kilometers) from the casino. Linder says a man riding an all-terrain vehicle found her body.
