The body of the deceased white female found about 100 yards west of the TA truck stop along West Historic Highway 66 has been identified, officials said. The body was discovered Jan. 11 at about 7:30 am by a passerby who notified police of the matter.

Capt. Marinda Spencer, public information officer with the Gallup Police Department, said the name of the female is Christine English, 40, of Yucaipa, Calif.

The cause of death has been recorded as undetermined, Spencer said, but a Facebook poster who left a message on the Gallup Sun website said the deceased was her daughter who was killed as the result of a hit-and-run.

A woman identifying herself as Earline Garrison Anderson asserted on the paper’s website that the deceased was indeed her daughter.
