MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee police are investigating after a missing woman was found dead.
Debra McMillian, 49, was first reported missing on Dec. 10. Her body was found four days later near 35th and Burleigh.
Police say, "Due to decomposition, the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's office responded and will determine the manner of death."
Friends and family held a balloon release Monday evening in her honor. McMillian's sister, Danielle Wyatt, said the family knew something was wrong when they didn't hear from her for three days.
"My mother and her daughter talk to her every single day and no one had heard from her," said Wyatt.
Debra's family tells TMJ4 she was handicapped and only walked on crutches. They say crutches were not found on the scene, which is why they are suspecting foul play.
Milwaukee Police have not disclosed the cause of death and say the investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Milwaukee Police at (414) 935-7360, or to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at (414)224-Tips/ or P3 Tips.
