After an extensive search, her body was found in the River Raisin in Raisin Township on April 8.

Two days later, an autopsy, conducted by the Lenawee County Medical Examiner, positively identified Ms. Fox.

“The autopsy determined that the cause of death was strangulation and ruled a homicide,” police said Monday.

After an investigation, police identified a person of interest and on Thursday, Christopher George Maurer, 33, from Adrian was arrested for the murder of Ms. Fox, along with other charges.
