The body of a missing 64-year-old woman was found in her backyard buried in a shallow grave after being reported missing in November.
According to police, Julie Marie Catron may have curiously traveled to Florida for months before being found behind her home in Georgia on Wednesday.
The detective said the investigation had searched for the residence of Katron where she was found.
The coroner’s office confirmed that the body belonged to Katron, but the office is sending her body to Atlanta for further inspection.
Columbus police chief Freddie Blackmon said there was potential for fraud at this time, WTVM reported.
This was after police said that Catron may have traveled from Columbus, Georgia to Destin, Florida in November 2021.
The purpose behind her trip is unknown.
The cause of death of Katron has not been confirmed at this time.
