A woman who was reported missing last week has been found, her body located inside a car at a Walmart parking lot in West Virginia.
According to a press release from the Morgantown Police Department, 32-year-old Alexa Randolph was reported missing Thursday night after no one could reach her or locate her white 2018 Ford Escape.
Randolph was last seen around 2:45 p.m. that day at her apartment in Morgantown.
Investigators working her disappearance discovered Randolph’s car that Friday afternoon in a Walmart parking lot on Hornbeck Road.
