Investigators say she suffered multiple blunt force trauma to her head and  have confirmed she was also the victim of a sexual assault.

Investigators are asking anyone who may have been in the area between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. Saturday night and may have witnessed suspicious activity to call police.

“The witness that we had there could hear someone about 15 feet away and that’s how he located her because he could hear her moaning and he wanted to see what it was and help her out. So he went down and that’s how he located her,” Staff Sgt. Bev Voros said. “So if he could hear that, I’m hoping that anyone walking on the pathways would have heard some sort of a ruckus going on in the bushes and that’s what we’re looking for as well.”

No suspects are in custody and police have not confirmed what the victim was doing there.

Police have found a residence where the victim lives and are looking into her actions that night.
