PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 16 (UPI) -- Philadelphia police say they are investigating whether a body of a young woman found in the Kensington area might be another victim of a possible serial killer.
The partially clothed body of a Caucasian woman in her 20s with a plastic bag over her head was discovered in a vacant lot in the city's Kensington area Wednesday, the Philadelphia Daily News reported.
Three women have been strangled in the area in recent weeks, although police say one of the deaths is probably not related, and three more women have told police that they were attacked and sexually assaulted, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
"Any death of a suspicious nature in this area, we're going to take a real hard look to see whether or not it's part of the pattern that's going on out here," Police Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey said.
"At this point in time, we really don't know," he said. "She is nude from the waist down. Very, very suspicious circumstances."
Any more details about the woman's death would have to await an autopsy, Ramsey said.
