TPD: No foul play suspected after body found in car parked at Thomasville Road Walmart

The Tallahassee Police Department has determined that there is "no evidence of foul play" after a woman's body was found inside an SUV Tuesday in the parking lot of the Walmart on Thomasville Road.

Police were called to the store at about 10 a.m. when Walmart employees discovered the body inside a parked vehicle, said TPD spokesman Kevin Bradshaw.

The vehicle was parked close to the entrance of the store and right next to the disabled parking spots.

At about noon, shoppers gathered in the parking lot and near the entrance of the store as officers removed crime scene tape.

A tow truck driver with Lake Jackson Towing loaded the white Nissan Pathfinder onto a tow truck. An officer at the scene said the body had not yet been removed from the vehicle.

Later that afternoon TPD sent out an email update that "the initial investigation has revealed the deceased was a 67-year-old woman, and there is no evidence of foul play at this time." Police officials did not identify the victim and rarely do on account of their interpretation of Marsy's Law, a victim's rights amendment to the constitution approved by Florida voters in 2018.

Anyone with information is asked to call TPD at (850) 891-4200 or CrimeStoppers anonymously at (850) 891-4200.

Tuesday's discovery is the second body discovered inside a parked car in the last week.

A person was found dead inside a car parked in the long-term lot of the Tallahassee International Airport on Feb. 5. TPD determined no foul play was involved in the death in that case as well.
