The vehicle was found near the tourist hotel ‘Old Faithful’. A man standing next to the car was arrested on suspicion of drug possession and other traffic-related charges, but his identity was not released. It remains unclear whether he has any involvement in the woman’s murder.
The investigation is being led by the NPS, with the participation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. “Investigators are working to determine the cause of death and are trying to inform next of kin,” the NPS said in the report.
