Woman Found Dead In Cheyenne Identified

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Family members have identified a woman whose body was found near a creek on the south side of Cheyenne earlier this week.

Tony Sanchez tells KGWN-TV (http://bit.ly/mXlWOl ) his sister Louise Sanchez, a grandmother of four, "was a wonderful person, a wonderful mom."

Two men reported finding the body near Crow Creek at about 6:30 p.m. Monday. Police Sgt. Rob Dafoe says there are no markings of foul play on the body, but police have not yet released the autopsy report on how exactly the woman died.

Tony Sanchez says his sister struggled with addiction, and her family believes alcohol at least played a part in her death.
