Police in both Michigan and Indiana are investigating the death of a Granger woman found outside a Cass County home this week. The body of 54-year-old Dawn Smith was found Wednesday afternoon, and Michigan State Police located her disabled van on the side of U.S. 12 shortly before she was found. Smith had been reported missing Monday night and family members feared she had become disoriented. St. Joseph County, Indiana Assistant Police Chief Bill Thompson tells our partners at WNDU NewsCenter 16 the van had lost a wheel and they believe she had started walking to find help. An autopsy is expected, and it’s speculated by authorities Smith died from exposure.
