WEST DES MOINES, Iowa - Police think a person found dead off the shoulder of I-35 in West Des Moines may have been hit by a car.
The body of 38-year-old Stephanie Waddell of Oskaloosa was located after being spotted by a passerby near Mills Civic Parkway.
West Des Moines Police think Waddell may have been hit by a car overnight Saturday or Sunday.
They're asking for help from any witness or anyone who may have seen the victim walking along the Interstate.
Waddell was located off the shoulder of the northbound lanes of I-35 just north of Mills Civic Parkway Sunday morning.
The entrance ramp from the Parkway was closed for several hours during the midday Sunday while an investigation was conducted. The right lane of the highway was also closed in what electronic highways signs identified as an "incident."
