The body was found at about 11 a.m. Saturday in the Sasser Playground near Moross and Camley.

"There's not much information at this point," Donakowski said. "It's a white female who appears to be in her 20s. She's a Jane Doe right now.

"The witness was walking a dog and observed a female lying on the ground," Donakowski said. "It appears at this point to be a drug overdose."
