Body ID'd, but probe resumes

Oktibbeha County authorities now know the identity of a woman whose body was found earlier this month.

Sheriff Dolph Bryan said the state medical examiner used dental records to identify her as 45-year-old Virginia T. Hood of Hattiesburg.

Deputies were dispatched to a wooded area off County Lake Road on Sept. 4 after a group of all-terrain vehicle riders discovered her body.

Bryan said an investigation showed Hood recently moved to the county from Hattiesburg.

He said the investigation is continuing
