Missing Oakland County Woman Found Dead In Woods
OXFORD TWP. (WWJ) - An Oxford Township woman who had been missing from a group home for nearly two weeks has been found dead.
The Oakland County Sheriff's Office says a body of person matching the description of 63-year-old Theresa Adams was discovered by deputies, late Thursday morning, in a wooded area near Hummer Lake and Metamora roads in Oxford.
An autopsy will be conducted by the Medical Examiner's Office on Friday to make a positive identification and determine the cause of death.
At the time of her disappearance, officials said Adams had walked away from the group home in the past but had always been found walking on roadways within several hours of going missing. She was entered into the Law Enforcement Information Network as a missing/endangered person as she'd said to be easily lost and disoriented when she is in unfamiliar areas, and because she requires medication.
Investigators say foul play is not suspected in the death.
