Authorities say foul play is suspected, and have determined the cause of death to be trauma and blood loss.
Police are asking the public to be looking for a light colored 1991 Toyota Previa minivan with a Kansas tag of 980 BCK. The vehicle had a burned-out driver's side headlight, no wiper on the rear window (missing), and a K-State sticker on the rear window. The rear windows are tinted, making it difficult to see the sticker.
It may be the key to solving this crime.
Quality Inn, 150 E. Poyntz
