Police ID Woman Found In Burning House
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- A woman found in a burning house in Baltimore last week has been identified by police.
Police believe that 52-year-old Patricia Lea Tracey was murdered before she was found at the scene of a fire in the 4400 block of Furley Avenue on the morning of Oct. 28.
The fire broke out just before 5 a.m. and when fire investigators got to the scene, they found Tracey's body inside the home. She was brought out, but was already dead.
The Medical Examiner's Office ruled the incident a homicide and believes the victim died of physical trauma.
Neighbors told WJZ that they hadn't seen the victim for days.
"After five days I hadn't heard from her. I used to see her every day, haven't heard from her after five days," Terry Henderson, who knew the victim, said.
