TBI agents and Coffee County investigators still are looking for leads to explain what happened to a 51-year-old woman whose partially burned body was found in an old rock quarry March 9.

“I wished we had something to go on, but there’s nothing new that I know of,” Coffee County Sheriff’s Investigator Bill Marcom said Monday.

Investigators are puzzled about who would want to hurt Connie Lou Brown, Marcom said. Brown had a few run-ins with law enforcement over the years, but nothing serious or violent, he said.

Preliminary autopsy results show Brown was killed by a single gunshot to the chest.
