Deputies in Colorado are investigating what they called a suspicious death after a body was found near Interstate 25.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office said a person's body was found near the interstate around 9:31 a.m. Sunday, about a half mile north of the Larkspur exit.
At 1:40 p.m., authorities announced that the death is under investigation. Later Sunday evening, the sheriff's office provided an update, saying that it does not appear the person died of natural causes, and they consider the death to be suspicious.
The sheriff's office said the Douglas County Coroner's Office will determine the official cause of death and officials are now seeking help from the public.
On Monday, the sheriff's office said the body belonged to a woman and released a description of her, as well as photos of some sheets and bedding material found at the scene.
Investigators described the woman as an adult with brown black hair, wearing gray leggings and a black long-sleeved shirt. The bedding included sheets with plaid, stripes, and other patterns.
The sheriff's office is also asking anyone who drove in that area on June 4 or June 5 with dashboard cameras to review the footage of that area and turn it over to the sheriff's office.
Anyone with footage or information about the case is being asked to call Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-STOP(7867).
