LEE COUNTY, AL (THECOUNT) — Amy Katherine Hagler, of Columbus, Georgia, has been named by the Lee County coroner as the woman whose body was found in a Lee County, Alabama creek Friday afternoon.
Hagler, 47, was identified as the body found Friday after a motorist observed a body floating in a waterway located on Lee Road 454, in Phenix City, near the Landmark subdivision.
Deputies say they responded to a 911 call around 12:30 p.m. Friday on reports of a body in the water.
Upon arrival, officials located a woman’s remains at the bottom of a steep embankment, just off the roadway in a creek.
According to WSFA, it does not appear Hagler’s body had been in the water long before being found.
Her cause of death is still being investigated.
Anyone with possible information on the incident should contact police at 911.
