       Autopsy shows woman drowned
       by Beverly Majors
       Oak Ridger staff
       Oak Ridge Police Lt. Mike Uher said this morning that an autopsy
       on a body of a woman found Monday in Melton Hill Lake showed
       that the woman drowned.
       Cleland Blake, a forensic pathologist in Morristown, performed
       the autopsy Tuesday afternoon.
       Oak Ridge Police Capt. Bill Moehl said Tuesday that police would
       treat the case as a homicide until proven otherwise.
       Uher said the body was taken to the University of Tennessee's
       Body Farm for storage. The Body Farm is a forensic science death
       study facility.
       Fishermen found the body at about 2:30 Monday afternoon
       approximately two miles downstream from Clark Center Park.
       Moehl said the body was found underneath a bank near the
       shoreline and was partially decomposed.
       "The body probably would not have been found had they not been
       fishing near the shoreline," Uher said.
       Uher said police are continuing their search for clues to the
       woman's identity and death.
       The body was found **** with no jewelry, no tattoos, no
       identification and no obvious cause of death, Moehl said
       Tuesday. Police are searching national registries of missing
       persons.
       A press release said the woman, believed to have been in her
       20s, was 5 feet, 9 1/2 inches tall, weighed approximately 160
       pounds and had long medium dark brown hair.
       The body had been in the water for about two to three weeks, the
       release said.
       The Oak Ridge Police Department is asking anyone with knowledge
       of a missing person fitting the description to call the ORPD at
       (865) 425-4399, or Officers Ron Andrus at 425-3517 or Steve
       Speelman at 425-3509.
