Body found near Prestige Plaza

MIAMI TOWNSHIP, Montgomery County, Ohio -- A former law enforcement officer staying at the Hawthorne Suites smelled a funny aroma coming from a wooded area behind the hotel late Tuesday morning. Timothy Etheridge of  Rusk, Texas decided to take a walk back into the woods and found a decomposed body.

Miami Township Police Sgt. Rex Thompson says the body appears to have been there several days.  Sgt. Thompson will only say that the body is that of a female and that they are fairly certain of the identity.   He says there was some identification found near the body.  They are currently trying to find next of kin.
