More than two weeks after a woman was found dead along a Palm Beach County road, deputies now say she was the victim of a homicide.
WPTV spent Wednesday working to get answers about how it happened, speaking with a close friend of the victim who is heartbroken.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday night that an autopsy indicated that a woman found dead in the 6100 block of Lyons Road on Oct. 28 did not die of natural causes.
Deputies said they found the victim after calls to 911 from passing drivers.
WPTVFamily and friends identified the victim as Linda Campitelli, 35, who was a wife and mother of two.
“She was an amazing mom,” said Karina Marrero, who was Campitelli’s friend. “Just amazing, completely admirable, beautiful person.”
WPTV’s Zitlali Solache spoke with Edina Russo, Campitelli’s mom, over the phone. Russo the days after the tragedy, have been the toughest and she continues to grieve the loss.
