2 women’s bodies found in Detroit

Detroit police are investigating two possible homicides following the discovery of the bodies of two women found in separate incidents on the city’s west side Monday afternoon.
The body of the first woman, believed to be in her 30s, was found at the end of a driveway, near the backyard, of a home on the 15700 block of West Parkway, which is north of Fenkell and east of Telegraph.
At about 4:30 p.m., a 911 caller found a pile of blankets at a vacant home on the block. The woman went to investigate the situation and found the body of a white female, wrapped in a blanket. The woman had been stabbed, said Officer Jennifer Moreno, a Detroit Police Department spokeswoman.
A half-hour later, and less than 15 miles away, on the 4500 block of 28th Street — west of West Grand Boulevard, north of Michigan Avenue — two men were looking for a stolen work trailer when they made a grisly discovery in a vacant garage.
The men’s search led them to 28th, where they noticed a vacant home with a garage. One of the men, 32, went inside the garage and found a woman’s dead body, and called 911. Police don’t yet know the woman’s identity and her death is being investigated as a homicide.
No information was available on the underlying trailer theft, Moreno said.
The Wayne County Medical Examiner will work to identify both women and will conduct both autopsies.
