Body found near Miami zoo

[Valasca]

Makes me wonder how long she's been there... and is it my friend Terrill Girard?

Human remains found by Miami Metrozoo workers most likely are those of a woman, police said.

The remains were found Monday on property adjacent to the zoo by workers cutting vegetation to feed to giraffes, said Ron Magill, a zoo spokesman.

Investigators had yet to determine a cause of death or how long the remains had been in the wooded area, Miami-Dade police spokesman Roy Rutland said.

"It's too early in the investigation to call it a homicide," Rutland said, noting the remains appeared to be female.

Arson investigators were called to the scene, near the entrance to the zoo, though authorities did not say whether the body had been burned, The Miami Herald reported Tuesday.

Police have identified a woman who's remains were discovered in a wooded area near the entrance to Miami Metrozoo last month.

Zoo employees found the body of 60-year-old Gloria Marinkovic near Southwest 157th Street and 124th Avenue. Zoo keepers said they were cutting leaves, and other vegetation, on April 19 when they discovered her remains.

Her cause of death has not yet been released.
