Police identify body found in container as missing retired federal employee
Police have identified a body found in a container this month in Northwest Baltimore as Versey Spell, a 75-year-old woman who was first reported missing last year. WBALTV reported on the matter:
A Baltimore family is grieving after police identified their relative as the person whose remains were found in a container outside a church. Versey Spell, 75, was reported missing in October 2022. Her remains were ultimately discovered three weeks ago in a container placed in the yard of a vacant church in the 3400 block of Garrison Boulevard, which is about six blocks from her home.Police said the remains were taken to the Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy. The office ruled the remains to be human and the cause of death a homicide. One of Spell’s daughters told 11 News she hopes whoever killed her mother is found.
