Former model found dead at I-80 interchange in Pa. was shot multiple times in the head: coroner
The Virginia woman found dead Sunday along an Interstate 80 interchange ramp in western Union County was shot multiple times in the head, the coroner says.
Rebecca Landrith, 47, was shot in the head, neck and throat according to an autopsy, Coroner Dominic Adamo said Tuesday. Her death has been ruled a homicide.

A state police news release inferred the shooting took place elsewhere because it stated the body was left along the ramp. Adamo said he believes Landrith was killed elsewhere.
Investigators identified her by tracing paperwork found on the body and then confirming it by fingerprints, Johnson said.
She did not carry any identification but there were receipts that indicated she had been in Indiana and Wisconsin, police said. She also had ties to South Dakota and Utah, they said.

According to Landrith’s biography, she had been a professional model in New York City,
a finalist for Miss Manhattan in 2014, an accomplished violinist and a champion for numerous charities.

Born in Alexandria, Virginia, she was the youngest of five siblings, her brother George Landrith said.
She never married and had separated from the rest of the family five years ago, he said.
For that reason, he said he knows little about her life since then. Their parents are divorced and their father lives in Utah, he said.

Edit to add by me: There is no photo provided in this article, but in my previous searches model of the same name was showing up in top of the searches, one with blond hair. After this latest article I think it really might be her.
