Body Found In Backyard Identified As That Of Missing Detroit Woman

DETROIT (WWJ) - A body found behind a Detroit home has been identified as that of a 24-year-old woman who went missing Friday.

A spokesman for the Wayne County Medical Examiner's Office told the Detroit Free Press Kajavia Globe's father identified her body Tuesday morning.

A cause of death hasn't been released.

Globe's car, a 2003 Chevy Impala, was found abandoned on Chatham Street, near Telegraph Road and Fenkel, Monday morning — three days after she went missing after leaving work on Detroit's west side.

Police said evidence of foul play was found in the vehicle, but they wouldn't elaborate.

Globe's body was found later Monday in a backyard on Fielding Street, in the area of 7 Mile Road and Evergreen.

Police aren't talking about a suspect or motive at this time, but chilling surveillance photos show someone in a skeleton mask using Globe's bank card to withdraw cash at a drive-through ATM at 7 Mile Road and Telegraph late Friday afternoon.

Family members have said police are looking to talk with an ex-boyfriend -- a topic Chief James Craig quickly steered clear of when asked by reporters.

"I'm not going to go into that detail in the investigation," said Craig, "we're talking to several individuals ... but again too early to go into where we are in the investigation ... but we are working hard to bring closure to the family."

Anyone who has information about this case is asked to call Detroit police.
