Woman found dead in her home in Newton County, investigation underway

This is a developing story.

NEWTON COUNTY, Ga. — Editor's note: A previous version of the story misidentified the victim. 

An investigation is underway after a woman was found dead inside of her Newton County home on Monday.

Officers responded to the home around 4:15 p.m. for a welfare check at a home off Skyview Drive after the mother of the victim said she hadn't heard from her daughter since Saturday, deputies said.

After deputies obtained a search warrant to enter the home, they found the woman inside.

Newton County Sheriff's Office said they are investigating her death as a "presumed homicide."

11Alive's SkyTracker flew over the scene where investigators were seen going in and out of her home.
