Police are investigating the body found in the woods in Northeast Philadelphia

Philadelphia police were investigating the discovery of a body in a wooded area in the city’s Bustleton section Thursday night.

The body was discovered Thursday evening near Verree Road and Tustin Avenue, police said.

Fox29 reported that the body was believed to be that of a woman who had been reported missing and was last seen on Halloween night.

Family members of the woman posted on Facebook saying she called her mother saying she was being held against her will by a man. Family members posted Wednesday that the woman’s car was found abandoned in front of a junkyard.

No other details were immediately available.
