A Philadelphia mother who was found dead in Pennypack Park Tuesday morning was strangled, according to officials.
The death of 46-year-old Connie Murray was ruled a homicide by strangulation. The medical examiner completed the autopsy on Murray Wednesday afternoon.
"He did not see much sign of a struggle," said Philadelphia Police Captain James Clark. "There was some minor bruising on her. Right now there is no motive. We have no idea."
Murray's body was discovered Tuesday shortly after 6 a.m. by a woman who was walking her dog at Pennypack Park near the Crispin Rec Center. The woman, who did not have a cellphone on her, flagged down an off-duty SEPTA bus driver. The driver then called 911.
Murray, a mother of two, left her home on the 2800 block of Tolbut Street in the city's Holme Circle neighborhood to go for a walk around 9 p.m. Monday, but never returned home, according to investigators.
Her family searched for her and then contacted police when they were unable to locate her.
Police say Murray was carrying headphones and a cellphone with her shortly before her death. Those items have not been recovered.
Police are currently searching for surveillance video from nearby businesses. They continue to investigate. So far they have not revealed information on any suspects.
If you have any information on Murray's death, please call Philadelphia police.
