Woman’s Body Found in Truck in Eastern Iowa

SHELLSBURG, Iowa (AP) — Iowa authorities are investigating the death of a woman whose body was found near a stolen truck that had crashed north of Shellsburg.

The truck was stolen Sunday in Benton County. Two men who were examining the truck after it was found soon noticed blood on a door handle and then saw a blood trail away from the truck. They followed the blood and found the woman's body.

The Iowa State Patrol would say only that an investigation into the woman's death has begun. Her name hasn't been released.
