Investigation Continues Into Identify of Woman Found In Chesco Pond

Two days after the discovery of a body tied to a cinder block in a Chester County pond, a cause of death remains unclear, and motive and circumstances even less clear.

Authorities are continuing their investigation into the death, but have not released any additional information since Tuesday.

The victim, a 5'6 African-American woman, was found in a pond connected to Pigeon Creek in East Coventry Township on Memorial Day by a citizen.

Pigeon Creek is a popular swimming and fishing hole, especially in the warm weather.

The Chester County District Attorney's Office said that the woman had already been dead when she was placed in the pond. It was also clear that she had not died from a gunshot wound, strangulation, or blunt force trauma, more common methods of killing.

An array of jewelry was found on the woman's body, and so far, that represents the most significant lead which the DA's office has released to the public. The images of the jewelry are attached above.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Chester County Detective Sergeant Tom Goggin at 610-344-6866.
