Junction City Police Department officers responded to the Super 8 Motel at 1133 South Washington on Sunday afternoon.

Jeff Childs, JCPD Detective Lieutenant, reported that authorities responded to a check welfare case in Room 217 which had been called in by a family member. “On arrival they located a female deceased in the room. Nothing criminal in nature was obvious, but we’ll still conduct a complete investigation.”

An autopsy is scheduled Monday.

Childs confirmed the victim was a 36-year old woman who had been a resident of Junction City for more than one year. She had just recently checked into that motel.
