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.
