Body ID'd as Woonsocket woman; death suspicious

A body found in the Black Hut Management Area in Burrillville has been identified as that of a missing Woonsocket woman, according to Burrillville police, who are now treating the case as a homicide.

Vicki L. Connolly, 33, was reported to have last been seen on Sept. 6.

The police received the information that her body has been identified from the medical examiner's office today at about 2:45 p.m, according to Lt. Kevin S. San Antonio.

"We are treating this as a homicide," said San Antonio, indicating there is evidence to suggest the death was suspicious.

The medical examiner's office did not make a ruling as to the cause of death.

Two hunters in the management area found the body late last week.

Burrillville police, with the assistance of Woonsocket police, are investigating.

I wonder if there's any relation in this crime to the woman who's body was discovered under or near the trestle by a hiking trail in Coventry. She was a Pawtucket woman who had been missing--maybe around a month ago or so.
