Site Search

Raleigh, N.C. — Police said they are investigating the Monday morning discovery of a woman's body in Raleigh's Lake Lynn.

Officers found the body of Gulalay Bahawdory, 60, of Raleigh, near the Sailboat Bay Apartment Homes complex in the 3200 block of Lynn Ridge Drive.

Bahawdory lived on Waterbury Road in northeast Raleigh. She was reported missing Sunday night and her car was found near the lake.

Police are classifying it only as a death investigation and haven't released any details, other than to say that their initial investigation shows no signs of foul play.

Dontprint, yeah I knew of that one, that was across the lake in one of those apts off of Leesville Rd. I'm in the Sailboat Bay complex and it's just a tad too close to home right now. It's a little more settling to know they don't suspect foul play but I hope they're right. Not to sound horrible and I'm really sorry for the family's loss, but I hope it was something medical and she fell in somehow and not some crazy freak on the loose on the trail. I'm leery to walk the dog on the trail right now w/o knowing for sure. I'm always aware of my surroundings, I only wear one ipod bud in my ears so I can still hear what's going on around me, carry a mace on my keys, etc but it still scares me.

Maybe if they would release some details, somebody would come forward with something that they know. Doesn't make sense if they have details not to release them.

My thoughts/prayers are with this woman's family - I hope they catch whoever did this.
