Missing Philly Woman Found Dead in the Poconos Months Later

Friends and family are mourning a Philadelphia woman who was found dead in Monroe County months after she was reported missing.

On Friday, the Monroe County Coroner’s office responded to a home on the 500 block of Foliage Drive in Blakeslee, Tunkhannock Township, Pennsylvania, where they found the body of Nicole Murray, 24, in the back of the property.

Murray was last seen alive on Kensington and Allegheny avenues in Philadelphia with an unidentified man the day after Christmas. Loved ones say the two were planning on going to the Poconos and they last heard from Murray a week later on January 3. They also say the man accompanying Murray claimed she got upset and left. He was using her phone at the time, he said.

Police have not determined a cause of death though they say it’s suspicious. They continue to investigate.
