LAUREL, Mont. (AP) - Yellowstone County officials are investigating a homicide after a woman’s body was found in a wooded area near Laurel.
Sheriff Mike Linder says without the confirmation from the medical examiner he cannot say if the body found Wednesday is that of 57-year-old Lori Bray, who was reported missing a day earlier.
However, he told The Billings Gazette the search for Bray has been put on hold since the discovery of the body.
