DENVER (AP) - A woman was found dead in a suburban neighborhood after a rope was looped around her neck and she was dragged through the streets from a vehicle in a gruesome crime that left a trail of blood more than a mile long, police said.

Neighbors discovered the woman's body before dawn Monday about 20 miles south of Denver. On Tuesday, sheriff's deputies were still trying to learn her identity.

The victim's face was unrecognizable and an orange tow rope was found around her neck, said Nancy Foley, who lives next door to the house where the body was found.

``I was trying to sleep last night, thinking about how this poor lady was dragged, treated worse than an animal,'' Foley said. ``She was really mangled.''

It was unclear whether the woman died from the dragging injuries. Authorities planned to conduct an autopsy. Sheriff's spokeswoman Kim Castellano said a photo of an unidentified couple was found nearby, but investigators did not know whether it was connected to the death.

Investigators were checking missing-person reports for clues. Authorities stepped up patrols in the once-quiet neighborhood, and residents were locking their doors at night, Foley said.

``It's a very safe neighborhood, or it has been, anyway,'' she said. The blood was cleaned off the paved road, but traces remained, upsetting neighbors. ``We don't want to attract any more attention that what we're already getting. This is our little piece of heaven,'' Foley said.

Bad, Prime. Bad.

What happened with a dog? HOw are these stories related?

"Authorities said the victim had an orange rope around her neck and it appeared that she had been dragged behind a vehicle.

The woman's mangled, naked body was discovered along Surrey Drive near the Surrey Ridge subdivision, at about 2:39 a.m. Monday, police said.

An autopsy report released late Tuesday revealed that the victim died from head injuries and strangulation from being dragged behind the vehicle.

A winding drag mark, consisting of tire marks and blood, stretched from Interstate 25 exit 191 to the area in the road where the woman's body was found, 7News reported.

Her face was so disfigured that she could not be immediately identified.

The victim was described as a white, Hispanic or Native American woman with a short stature and stocky build. She was in her 30s and had fair to medium skin. She was 5 feet tall and 130 to 140 pounds. Her auburn hair, which may have been dyed, was shoulder-length or slightly longer. She had hazel or green eyes."

Auburn hair, me.
longer than shoulder length hair, me

Coincidental.

I am almost convinced that this was drug related.

C. Drug deal gone bad.
D. Gang initiation.

Serial killers often mutilate their victims and abscond with trophies - usually, body parts. They treat their prey as a disturbed child would treat her rag dolls. Some of them have been known to eat the organs they have ripped - an act of merging with the dead and assimilating them through digestion.

Killing the victim - often capturing him or her on film before the murder - is a form of exerting unmitigated, absolute, and irreversible control over it. The serial killer aspires to "freeze time" in the still perfection that he has choreographed. The victim is motionless and defenceless. The killer attains long sought "object permanence". The victim is unlikely to run on him or vanish as earlier objects (e.g., his parents) have done.

The killer is trying desperately to avoid a painful relationship with his object of desire. He is terrified of being abandoned or humiliated, exposed for what he is and then discarded. Many killers often have sex - the ultimate form of intimacy - with the corpses. Objectification and mutilation allow for unchallenged possession.

Many serial killers believe that killing is the way of the world. Everyone would kill if they could or were given the chance to do so. Such killers are convinced that they are more honest and open about their desires and, thus, morally superior. They hold others in contempt for being conforming hypocrites, cowed into submission by an overweening establishment or society.

Other killers "improve" the intimate object by "purifying" it, removing "imperfections", depersonalizing it, and dehumanizing it. This type of killer saves its victims from degeneration and degradation, from evil and from sin, in short: from a fate worse than death. The killer's megalomania manifests at this stage. He claims to possess, or have access to, higher knowledge and morality. The killer is a special being and the victim is "chosen" and should be grateful. The killer often finds the victim's ingratitude irritating, though sadly predictable.

My instinct is still telling me it's drug related.

I have more to say about this, but I'm going to go watch "Boston Legal" now.

Im thinking its going to be a cold case and sounds like she pissed someone off or they were bored little whack jobs.But anyway,the cold case thing due to allowing the crime scene to be washed as to not "upset" people,there could've been anything laying around that they can get DNA off of.
