Investigators discovered the body overnight in the trunk of a white sedan outside a Quality Inn hotel on Route 38 in Maple Shade.
The investigation began late Sunday night when the victim’s family members called police and said they were concerned about her safety.

Investigators were questioning the owner of that car. Action News is told that person knew the victim.
Authorities have not released the victim’s name or age.
Police sources tell Action News the investigation also involves a home in the Olney section of Philadelphia.
