A 32-year-old West Virginia mother was found dead in the cargo area of her vehicle just one day after going missing. 

Alexa Randolph's family and friends became worried after she could not be reached and her white 2018 Ford Escape could not be located last Thursday. She was last seen around 2:45 pm that day at her apartment in Morgantown. 

On Friday (January 29), police found Randolph's car parked at a Walmart, and upon further investigation, they found her body inside. The Monongalia County Sheriff's Office released a statement, revealing that they're investigating Randolph's death as a homicide. 

"Monongalia County Sheriff's Office Detectives will assume the lead in this investigation to avoid jurisdiction issues with any possible leads, suspects and evidence that may be outside of the Morgantown City limits. This case is being investigated as a homicide and the integrity of the investigation will dictate future releases of information."
