Police have identified the body they found earlier this week at a Moore apartment complex.
Police said 40-year-old Louellen King was found in her apartment at the Nottingham Square Apartments near NW 27th and Sheilds Boulevard.
Police speculate that King had been dead for several days.
Moore police spokesman Jeremy Lewis said officers were notified by a neighbor who hadn’t seen the woman. Lewis said the neighbor smelled a foul odor coming from the apartment.
“There were obvious signs of foul play — obvious signs of a struggle,” Lewis said. “The apartment appeared to have been ransacked.”
Because of the state of the body police were unable to determine any obvious signs of trauma. As of Wednesday moring, the state medical examiner’s office had not determined a cause of death.
Investigators have interviewed neighbors and looking for the woman’s boyfriend, the last person seen leaving the apartment.
Lewis said police are not calling the boyfriend a suspect at this time, but said the man was “definitely someone we want to talk to.”
Persons with information about the incident are asked to call Moore Police at 793-5171.
