TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — The Tallahassee Police Department has confirmed that the body that was found inside a parked car at a Tallahassee Walmart was that of a missing woman.

Police were called around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday to the store. When officers arrived on scene, they found a body inside a car in the parking lot.

TPD confirmed to ABC 27 that the body they found was a woman who was reported missing to TPD on Monday.
