Durham authorities are investigating a distressing discovery made in a local home yesterday. According to details shared by CBS17, officers responding to a welfare check at a residence on the 700 block of Audubon Lake Drive found an adult female deceased. The police were dispatched just after noon, and the area is known for the Audubon Lake Apartment Homes, situated off N.C. 54 west of Fayetteville Road.
In relation to the investigation, the Durham Police Department has not yet disclosed the woman's identity or the cause of death. Conducting their inquiry into the untimely demise, they urge anyone who might hold pertinent information to come forward. In a prompt to the community, WRAL reported that Investigator A. Cristaldi can be contacted at 919-560-4440 ext. 29283, or individuals can submit tips online at durhamcrimestoppers.org, or by calling (919) 683-1200.
The case appears to be shrouded in uncertainty, as the authorities have not yet concluded what circumstances led to the woman's death. While conducting the initial welfare check, the officers' discovery abruptly shifted from welfare to a case of mortality.
