Inside, investigators say an unidentified female body was discovered partially decomposed.How long was that body left there? Since Monday – says Veronica Bostick, who lives next to the neighborhood pathway.
"I was frightened. I saw it Monday - the container – but I didn’t know something was in there," Bostick said.
