FORSYTH COUNTY, N.C. — The body of a woman found in a Forsyth County waste management facility has been identified.

On Feb. 22, Republic Services waste management facility employees found 25-year-old Lindsay Jo Bowman's body inside a load of cardboard that was about to be recycled at the center, Winston-Salem police said.

Winston-Salem police launched an investigation into Bowman's death, WSPD officials said. Investigators are still working to figure out where Bowman had visited in the week prior to the discovery of her body.
