A woman visiting her mother in Princeton, Massachusetts was found dead in a wooded area not far from the family home on Sunday, reports CNN Money.

Police were called when 27-year-old Vanessa Marcotte, who lived in New York City, didn’t return home from her afternoon run. 

At roughly 8:30 p.m., several hours after Marcotte’s disappearance was reported, her body was located, notes Boston Globe. 

Authorities are investigating the death as a homicide, and an autopsy is being performed. 

Area residents are being advised to exercise caution, as it has not yet been determined if the fatal attack was random.

Only days ago, a woman out for a run near her Queens, New York home fell victim to murder as well.

Authorities say at this point in the investigation there is no indication the two deaths are linked.
