Her family hired a private investigator and used social media to try and spread the word about her disappearance. In an Oct. 2015 statement, they said the investigator had no leads and the case had gone "completely cold."
Sullivan's body was found just a few blocks from her home.
Police have not released a cause of death or why they suspect the woman was murdered, the station reports.
