Woman Found Dead In Downriver Apartment May Have Been There For Days

TAYLOR (WWJ) - A Downriver woman found strangled in her apartment might have been dead for days before her body was discovered.

Police say 31-year-old Stephanie Rae Buchanan was found dead Wednesday night in an apartment complex near Ecorse Road and Polk Street, just west of Pelham Road in Taylor.

Buchanan's death has not yet been ruled a homicide, and is being investigated as suspicious.

An investigation is ongoing.
