MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) — Authorities are investigating the death of a 22-year-old woman whose body was found in her Murfreesboro apartment.
According to WTVF-TV, officers were called to the Cove at Center Point on Friday after a friend of Heather Maples noticed she hadn't showed up for work at the front office of the apartment complex and went to check on her.
That's when officials say she discovered Maples' body.
Detectives said they believe Maples, who was from Texas, knew her attacker.
No details have been released about the death, but Murfreesboro Police spokesman Kyle Evans said authorities are following several leads.
