A woman was found unclothed in the bed of a parked truck outside the Starlust Motel early this morning. A cord was around her neck. Witnesses saw several people take loose bills from under the body. They left without calling the Laveau Sheriff's Office. Rescue personnel had not arrived as of press time.

Sheriff's Office sources treat this as part of disposal events by transient groups near the waterfront corridor. Investigators noted the body position, cord, and lack of clothing as deliberate. This matches Syndicate intelligence on outside factions entering Syndicate territory.

A department spokesperson said: "Port Laveau looks after its own." Residents near the Starlust Motel must report unfamiliar vehicles right away.
