Authorities have released the identity of a woman who was found dead beside a Tennessee roadway Monday morning. She was identified as Tabitha Ryals, 32, and is believed to be from Columbia, Mississippi.
In June, the Columbia and Hattiesburg police departments shared a post about a missing woman named Tabitha Ryals. However, it has not been officially confirmed to be the same person.
Ryals’ body was reported to police by a passer-by at around 11 a.m. Monday, according to WSMV. Police believe Ryals was already deceased before her body was left on the roadside of the Madison, Tennessee neighborhood.
