Philadelphia detectives are on the scene in the Bridesburg neighborhood after a woman's body was found in a dumpster.
The woman's body was found around 3 p.m. in a trash dumpster in the 2900 block of E. Orthodox Street.
That street is about ten blocks away from the Betsy Ross Bridge.
Officials say the dumpster was at the mid-way point for trash that eventually goes to a large landfill in York, Pennsylvania. They also say the truck that brought the dumpster made several stops in the city. Detectives are currently retracing the truck's route to see if the various pickup locations offer any clues.
