Family members are asking for the public’s help in finding information surrounding the death of a South Lyon woman, who’s body was found in Detroit last month.

Police say 42-year-old Melissa Dequin was last seen alive on March 10th. Her body was found by a pedestrian the next day while walking in a neighborhood on the westside of Detroit, near Fitzpatrick Avenue and Memorial Street.

When police arrived, Dequin's body was wrapped in a blanket. Family members confirmed her identity on March 13th.

While there was no noticeable trauma to Dequin's body, there were traces of bruises located on her face.
