Missing 16-year-old Fairfax girl found dead

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — A 16-year-old Fairfax girl has been found dead in a park after she had been missing since Sunday.

Fairfax police said Tuesday that the body of 16-year-old Cara Lynn Golias was found near a railroad bridge trestle in the Hemlock Overlook Regional Park on Monday afternoon.

Detectives say they don’t suspect criminal activity and that no public safety threat is involved. A medical examiner will determine how she died.

Golias was last seen near Manassas Park Middle School on Sunday. Police said she was believed to have voluntarily left the area by walking through nearby woods.
