Woman's body investigated as a homicide

BLYN, Wash. (AP) — A body found Friday in the Olympic National Forest in Clallam County is being investigated as a homicide, according to the sheriff’s office.

Q-13 TV reports detectives said the woman’s body was found in the Buckhorn Wilderness area of the forest, off Forest Service Road 28 south of Blyn, Washington.

Investigators said they believe the woman “succumbed to injuries as a result of homicidal violence,” but did not release additional information.

The FBI is assisting in the investigation because the woman’s body was found on federal forest land.
