(AP) -- BELLEVILLE, Ill. (AP) -- Authorities say a St. Louis woman whose body was found in Illinois' Madison County appears to have been a victim of foul play.

The Belleville News Democrat reports that the body of 44-year-old Tabitha Milton-Rush was discovered Saturday morning in an embankment in Bethalto, Ill.

Madison County Sheriff's Department Major Brad Wells says it appears she was murdered and her body dumped at the site.
