COOKE COUNTY, Texas (KXII) - The car of a missing Fort Worth woman was found with a body inside in Cooke County over the weekend.

The sheriff’s office is waiting on the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office for positive identification and a possible cause of death before releasing any information about the deceased.

The investigation is ongoing.
