ByPolice are investigating the mysterious death of a woman discovered in an abandoned car near the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay (UWGB) campus.

UWGB released a statement Monday morning confirming the campus would be operational, as police believe there is no imminent threat. However, the police did not locate a murder weapon, nor have they identified a suspect.
The school notified the campus community of a possible homicide that took place near campus around 3 a.m. in an emergency email and text message notice.

"The victim is not a student and we do not believe she had ties to the campus community. Officers from UW-Green Bay and the Green Bay Police Department are on scene and will continue to patrol the campus and surrounding area.
"The campus buildings, routinely locked at night, are now open for business. Please stay off the campus trails at this time."
