Woman's death being investigated as suspicious

The death of a 23-year-old woman found Monday morning in her residence is being investigated as suspicious, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office said.

Krista Kaiser was found on the floor of her child's bedroom, with a ligature around her neck, according to the coroner's office, which has listed the preliminary cause of death as strangulation.

Late Monday afternoon, sheriff's Maj. Daryl Wilson said the body was found near the child's closet.

The case "looks like a suicide," Wilson said, but noted that investigators are continuing to conduct interviews, including with the woman's boyfriend, who discovered the woman in her residence in 5200 block of Northcutt Place.
