With sad news
A body found Tuesday night along railroad tracks in a Panama Park neighborhood is likely that of 22-year-old Brittney Neal, according to her family.
Homicide detectives were called to 6457 Buffalo Ave. about 8:30 p.m. when a man reported finding a decomposing body.
While an autopsy was scheduled Wednesday to formally identify the remains, Neal's family told Channel 4 that police informed them the remains are likely of their relative who has been missing for nearly three weeks.
Police would not confirm Wednesday morning, but did say that foul play was not suspected in the death.
Neal was last seen by her boyfriend, Roger, who did not give his last name, about 3 a.m. April 28. Roger said they had been together at her Eastside home on East 11th Street when she decided to go for a walk to clear her head.
Roger said that Neal may have been walking at Edwards Park, just a few blocks from her home, when she disappeared. The body was found about three miles from Neal's Eastside home.
