The Catawba County Sheriff’s Office is investigating what they say is a suspicious death in the Vale community west of Newton. The identity of the victim has not yet been released, but officials say the female that was found in the Springdale Drive residence on Sunday may have been there for several days before being discovered.
Few details have been released as of Monday. Officials said that an autopsy is being conducted and they will hopefully be able to provide more information once completed.
