Death of Karen Cunningham 'suspicious' in nature, Woodstock police say
Several days after the discovery of her body, police in Woodstock have declared the death of 30-year-old Karen Cunningham as “suspicious” in nature.
Few details are known at this time, but on Tuesday, police said in a press release that “the investigation is on-going with police treating Ms. Cunningham’s death as suspicious.”
Karen Cunningham, a 30-year-old woman initially reported as missing late last week, was confirmed deceased on the night of Feb. 3, according to Woodstock police.
